Zone: 2ROMEO™ DWARF CHERRY TREE
Prunus fruticosa x Prunus cerasus 'Romeo' is commonly referred to as Romeo™ Bush Cherry. This self-fertile dwarf cherry tree or large shrub features dark red fruit that can be used in cooking, preserves, wine-making, canning or eating fresh. It is hardy down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit and can produce up to 30 pounds of fruit per season. Flowers appear mid spring with harvest in early to midsummer. It is self-fertile but does pair nicely with the Juliet™ Dwarf Cherry. When paired, the two dark-sweet cherries really extend your harvest with larger yields.
Juliet™ Cherry Tree thrives in full sun in evenly moist, well-draining soils. It will not tolerate standing water.

To help these trees settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in deep, fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location in full sun to ensure the best fruit production and foliage color. Cherry trees are notoriously sensitive to "wet feet," so ensure the site has excellent drainage and air circulation to prevent fungal issues, avoiding low-lying areas where frost or water can collect.
Provide deep, consistent water during the first few growing seasons until the tree is well established, and monitor soil moisture thereafter to ensure it remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Prune in late winter or early spring while the tree is dormant to improve structure, remove dead or crossing branches, and encourage productive growth.
