Botanical namePrunus cerasus Romeo

Prunus cerasus ‘Romeo’ is a hardy dwarf sour cherry from the Romance series, specially developed to offer a generous production of tasty cherries in cold climates, making it an excellent choice for Quebec gardens and orchards adapted to our harsh winters. This variety stands out for its compact, bushy habit, ideal for small spaces or patios, while allowing for an abundant harvest of red to black-red cherries with sweet and slightly tart flavors, perfect for fresh consumption, preserves, pies, or juice. ‘Romeo’ is self-fertile and cold-tolerant, while attracting pollinators thanks to its white flowers in spring. It is easy to care for and integrates perfectly into fruit arrangements adapted to our Quebec conditions.
