The Carmine Jewel Cherry is a true gem for the edible landscape, offering the beauty of an ornamental shrub with the bounty of a commercial orchard. Perfectly suited for Zone 7 and 8, this unique hybrid grows into a lush, rounded bush reaching about 6 to 8 feet tall and wide. Its compact size makes it a favorite for smaller gardens or even large patio containers. You will love the stunning white spring flowers that give way to a heavy crop of deep, purplish-red cherries with a complex, sweet-tart flavor profile.

This hardy shrub thrives in full sun and is notably deer-resistant, as its glossy, leathery foliage is far less appetizing than traditional fruit tree leaves. For a healthy start, blend Watters Premium Mulch with your gardens native soil to encourage deep, resilient roots. Regular feedings with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food provide the organic nutrients necessary for maximum fruit sugar and vibrant growth. It is a self-pollinating, low-maintenance winner for any backyard.
