Prunus Morello, commonly known as Morello Cherry, is a deciduous fruit tree valued for its tart and flavorful cherries.

Height/Spread: Prunus Morello typically reaches a height of 10-15 feet (3-4.5 meters) with a spread of 8-12 feet (2.5-3.5 meters). It forms a moderately-sized tree, suitable for medium to large gardens.

Position: It thrives in a sunny position, preferably with some shelter from strong winds. Morello Cherry trees require full sun exposure to produce abundant fruit.

Soil: This variety prefers well-drained soil that is fertile and moisture-retentive. It adapts well to various soil types, but a slightly acidic to neutral pH range of 6.0-7.0 is ideal for optimal growth and fruit production.

Flowering Season: Prunus Morello produces attractive white flowers in early to mid-spring, usually around April or May in the Irish climate. These blossoms add ornamental value to the tree before the fruit develops.

Uses: Morello Cherry trees are primarily grown for their tart cherries, which are excellent for culinary purposes, including pies, jams, and preserves. The fruits ripen in late summer and can be harvested for consumption or processing. Additionally, the tree provides ornamental value with its spring blossoms and can be a beautiful addition to orchards or edible landscapes.
