The story

Bred for brutal winters.

Bush-sized cherries from a Canadian breeding program, hardy to zone 2. The fruit is sweeter than a pie cherry but keeps the tartness that makes good jam. Juliet ripens first; Romeo follows with darker fruit.

Light

Full sun, six hours or more.

Water

Water weekly the first two summers. Then only in dry spells, and steadily while fruit is forming.

Planting

Plant in spring or fall at the depth it grew in the pot. Average soil is fine; wet ground is not.

Real homegrown cherries where sweet cherries would never survive, picked without a ladder.
