Plant Description

Prunus cerasus, commonly known as the sour cherry or tart cherry, is a deciduous tree reaching 90-140 cm in height during its early growth stages. It has dark green, serrated leaves and smooth, reddish-brown bark. In spring, it produces clusters of white, five-petaled flowers that attract pollinators like bees. These are followed by bright red cherries that have a tangy, acidic flavor, ideal for culinary uses such as jams, pies, and juices. The sour cherry tree is valued for its compact size, making it suitable for smaller gardens or container growing.
