Cherry Tree - Morello

Cherry Tree - Morello

Prunus cerasus 'Morello' was introduced to Britain by the Romans, but has only really been popular since the 18th century. Flowers later than sweet cherries, so a more reliable cropper as it will miss the frosts. Will also do well on east or north facing walls. As a sour cherry it is mostly used for cooking, and is self fertile. Fifty years ago there were over 50 varietals of Morello cherries being cultivated. Like all cherry trees, its attractive spring blossom is helpful for a range of pollinators including bees.

We sell Morello cherries as one to two year old plants on Colt root stock, which will produce a tree with a terminal height of around 4m.

Supplier: R.V. Roger Ltd.

Please note that we also sell several varieties of edible wild cherry, or "mazzard", and recommend our fruit tree planting kits for all new fruit trees.

We supply all our fruit trees as bare root, so they are only available between November and April. During lifting season, there will be a delay between placing the order and dispatching due to pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence, and the weather. Orders taken from June-October will be confirmed in late October/ early November after a nursery stock take, for dispatch from November. Please consult our planting and care guide on receipt of your order.

Your purchase helps us support a range of charities, which are related to the products we sell.
