Cherry Tree - Morello
Origin: Unknown
Cherry Type: Culinary
Rootstock: Avium
Size : Maiden
Harvest : August
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.
