Introducing the Cherry 'Crown Morello', renowned as the largest of the cooking cherries. Its exceptionally juicy, dark red fruits are ideal for a variety of culinary uses, from traditional pies and preserves to homemade wine and spirits. This acid cherry variety not only produces a bumper crop from late August onwards but also adds significant ornamental value to your garden, whether in bloom or laden with fruit. It thrives even in north-facing positions, making it a versatile addition to most gardens. This particular variety is self-fertile, meaning it does not require a specific pollination partner to produce fruit.
