Prunus cerasus ‘Morello’ – Morello cherry 6-8cm girth (Bare Root)
Prunus cerasus ‘Morello’ is a small to medium-sized, self-fertile cherry tree with green leaves and an abundance of blossom that emerges in the spring. This blossom is followed by acidic fruits in the summer, which can be harvested between late July and early August. The Morello cherry is often used for cooking and jams; it can be eaten fresh by those who like a tart taste. Grown on a colt rootstock the Prunus cerasus ‘Morello’ will reach a mature height of 4-6m, ideal for planting in gardens or for training to a wall or trellis. Often planted for its gorgeous flavour, the Morello cherry should be planted in fertile, moist, free-draining soil in full sun to partial shade (we would recommend using feeds and mulches for optimum health).
Bare root fruit trees are available to buy from November to March each year whilst the trees are dormant.
If you don’t intend to plant a bare root tree immediately upon arrival, store the tree in a cool, frost free shed or garage. It is important to ensure the roots are not exposed to the sun or drying winds between lifting in the nursery and planting on site. Great care should be taken to ensure the tree is heeled in tight to obtain good root/soil contact. The tree should also be staked to provide stability.
