Description
- A rich tasting, glossy, dark cherry that can be grown in a patio pot, a border or by a sunny wall
- Regarded as the best cherry for cooking (in fact it’s the only sour cherry variety grown commercially in the UK – it’s that good) – perfect for pies, liqueurs and jams. The cherries are ripe and ready for cooking when they turn dark red. If you leave them until they’re almost black, you can also eat them fresh
- Good results throughout the UK – we’d even recommend this variety for Scotland, the North and shady, north facing walls further south.
- Morello is late to flower, meaning that it generally avoids losing blossom to any late spring frosts
- Prolonged late harvest throughout August
- Produces a good reliable crop of fruit that freezes well
- RHS Award of Garden Merit winner
- Colt Rootstock: Max size H4m x W4m Rootstocks restrict the size of a tree to make it more suited for an average gardenMORE
- Self fertile (Pollination Group 4) – will produce good crops without pollination
- Our potted trees are supplied in EcoPots™. Eco pots use 70% less plastic and are fully recyclable, unlike normal single use pots. They flex and so produce less root spiralling and travel better in the post.MORE
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
