Carmine Jewel Cherry

Prunus fruticosa x Prunus cerasus 'Carmine Jewel'

Carmine Jewel is a revelation, combining the lusciousness of sweet cherries with the complex flavors of pie (or tart) cherries, and the easy-to-maintain, dwarf-growth habit of bush cherries. It's a hardy and beautiful addition to any landscape or home orchard.

Expect 15+ pounds of tasty cherries by year 4, and 20-30 pounds by year 5; this tree is easy care and self-fruitful. Also a great pollinizer for early-blooming sweet cherry varieties like Almaden Duke, Royal Lee, and Minnie Lee.
