Description:
This cherry tree grows to a height of nine feet and a width of around five feet. It is hardy to zone three and likes full sunlight. A wonderful new introduction with fruit that is excellent for juicing and has good fresh eating and processing qualities. A vigorous and hardy tree that is lovely as a garden accent or focal point as well. Self-pollinating. The cherries come in clusters and are medium sized. They are a more mild cherry and are ready to be picked the second week in July. Romeo 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 indigo fruits are held in abundance in spectacular clusters in mid summer, which are excellent for cooking, baking and making jams and jellies. 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. Taste this cherry in Mr. V's demonstration orchard. |
