Prunus cerasus ‘Morello’ Standard

£54.00

Prunus cerasus ‘Morello’ is the quintessential sour (acid) cherry tree, ideal for British gardens and kitchen orchards. This compact, self-fertile variety produces abundant crops of dark red, tangy cherries that are perfect for pies, jams, preserves, sauces and traditional desserts. Unlike sweet cherries, ‘Morello’ thrives in cooler UK climates and can even perform well on less sunny sites such as north-facing walls In spring it bears attractive clusters of pure white blossom, offering seasonal interest and valuable nectar for bees and other pollinators. The fruit typically ripens from late July into August, delivering rich, juicy cherries prized by gardeners and cooks alike. ‘Morello’ is hardy, reliable and suitable for small gardens as well as larger orchards.
