A fantastic, dark red acid cherry that is ideal for cooking. Cherries grow into small or medium-sized trees although, if grafted on a semi-dwarfing rootstock such as 'Colt', they may be grown as fans on garden walls or as dwarf pyramids, both of which are easier to protect with fleece against frost, and later against birds. Varieties such as 'Morello' are self-fertile and may be grown on their own, producing heavy crops of large juicy fruits. Always prune between early spring and mid-autumn, when wounds heal quickly. Fruits are borne on young stems and pruning is quite different from sweet cherries. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
Looks good with:
Ribes uva-crispa var. reclinatum 'Careless'Ribes rubrum 'White Grape'
