Romeo - Dwarf Pie Cherry
Prunus cerasus X P. fruticosa
From the ‘romance series’ out of University of Saskatchewan. These are attractive and highly productive trees that generally top out around 8-10 feet (smaller than Bali) and have a fairly bushy growing habit. The large, quarter-sized fruit makes picking go fast; they will yield 20-25 lbs. of fruit per year at maturity!
Romeo: -50°F with occasional injury. Prunus cerasus X P. fruticosa. Ripens in early - mid August. Brix = 18-20°. From the ‘romance series’ out of University of Saskatchewan. Darkest flesh and juice of series; great for wine, juice, or processing. High anthocyanin levels give the juice a wine-like flavor. Self-fertile, but yields will be higher with another variety nearby.
2-3 foot plants.
