Description:
MR. V's FAV!!!! This tree yields an abundance of cherries and are the biggest in size. They have a nice firm texture with a juicy soft center. These are ready within the third week in July. This tree grows to a height of nine feet and a width of around five feet. Hardy to zone two but they also do well here in a zone three climate. Cupid Cherry features showy clusters of white flowers along the branches in mid spring. It has green foliage throughout the season. The glossy oval leaves turn yellow in fall. The dark red fruits are held in abundance in spectacular clusters in mid summer, which are excellent for eating right off the tree. This is a self-pollinating variety, so it doesn't require a second plant nearby to set fruit. The smooth gray bark is not particularly outstanding. |
