Shrub Cherry : CRIMSON PASSION 30-60cm (12-24") plant

$34.95

These ultra cold hard shrub cherry varieties – developed at the University of Saskatchewan, and released as the ROMANCE SERIES, have made commercial cherry production possible far north of normal fruit growing regions. Even in sweet cherry country, producers are being won over by the fruit size, quality and yield potential of these newcomers. The dark flesh is high in antioxidants as well as sugar levels. Although obviously well-suited for processing, if allowed to fully ripen, the flavour is closer to a sweet cherry than a sour cherry, which makes pleasurable fresh eating. Mature shrubs are only 2-2.5m (6-8') tall and wide which simplifies picking or covering with bird netting.

Very dark flesh and also juice. High sugar content and intense
flavour. Maturing at 5-6' it is the most compact Romance Series
bush. Very low tendency to sucker.
