Royal Crimson Cherry Tree

Royal Crimson Cherries (Prunus avium 'Royal Crimson') are new on the home gardener scene and have many cherry-lovers jumping up and down with joy. You see, Royal Crimson has one of the lowest chill requirements of any cherry tree available on the market - only 150-300 hours of chill time required.

This means that places that were previously unable to grow Cherry Trees that actually produced edible fruit are about to bust wide open with some of the tartest sweet cherries on the market! We're looking at you Southern California, and you Texas, and you, well, anyplace that doesn't get that cold, but cold enough!

This is a low-chill variety that people have been waiting for! It can be planted right next to your Orange tree! If you aren't jumping for joy yet, then this might help - Royal Crimson doesn't need a pollinator either! It is self-fertile so that you can have loads of fresh fruit even if you only have room for one tree! Hello urban gardeners!

Planting and Application:
