Carmine Jewel Cherry Bush has full sized, purplish-red fruit with a balance of high sugars and a complement of acids, creating a rich flavor. Its fruit has firmer flesh and less juice than Romeo, so it lends itself better to making dried fruit. It's also a heavy yielder, loading up with 15 pounds by its 4th year and 20 to 30 pounds in its fifth year. Growing to only 6 feet tall, this is a naturally dwarfed bush with full-sized fruit much easier to maintain than typical cherries. Cold hardiness and minimal problems with disease and pests make this beauty a breeze to grow and harvest. Abundant white flowers and glossy green leaves allow it to double as an ornamental in your landscape in early spring. Self-pollinating and hardy in USDA zones 2 to 7.
