Potted Mystery Dwarf Sour Cherry Bush

Available only for pick-up at nursery.

History: Oops, we had an inventory mishap and don't know what variety these dwarf sour cherries are! We're happy to offer these wonderful plants at a discount to any adventurous growers who don't mind a bit of mystery. They will be one of the Romance Series of dwarf sour cherries released from the University of Saskatchewan. 

Why We Grow It: Dwarf sour cherries are self-pollinating and relatively compact, making them a great option for anyone with limited space! These productive bushes produce ample amounts of bright red sour cherries that are great for baking, preserving, etc. The bushes are also showy in the spring when covered in white blossoms and are quite cold hardy.
