Prunus cerasus Carmine Jewel

Carmine Jewel Cherry

A variety of sour cherry, known for its small, bright red, firm, juicy cherries with an intense tart taste. This cultivar is popular for making jams, pies and other desserts. It is also disease resistant and adapts well to a variety of climatic conditions. Self-sterile, it is recommended to plant another variety of sour cherry that flowers at the same time to ensure cross-pollination and optimum fruit production. It begins to produce fruit about 2 to 3 years after planting. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering which can cause root rot. Pruning is done in late winter or early spring, before the vegetation resumes. Remove dead or weak branches to encourage healthy growth and improve air circulation.
