Family Rosaceae

Prunus x kerrasis ‘Cupid’ is a dwarf sour cherry tree with a compact habit, very hardy and perfectly suited to Quebec's climate. It was developed to offer an abundant harvest of large, dark red to black cherries with juicy, sweet, and tart sour cherry-type flesh. It is distinguished by its decorative spring white blossoms, followed by dense green foliage and fruits that are excellent for pies, jams, jellies, or even fresh consumption. Thanks to its bushy form and reduced height, it is easy to maintain and harvest, suitable for both small gardens and home orchards. Self-fertile, disease-resistant, and tolerant of well-drained soils, ‘Cupid’ combines aesthetics, flavor, and performance for those who wish to integrate a compact and productive fruit tree into their landscape.
