Dwarf Sour Cherry Bushes

Species: Prunus cerasus

History: These sour cherry seedlings are grown from Juliet seeds we've collected here at Silver Creek Nursery from our own trees! Juliet, is one of the members of the Romance Series released in 2004 from the University of Saskatchewan.

Why We Grow It: Seedling fruit trees are a great way to add some diversity and mystery to your garden or orchard! The parent variety, Juliet, has a sweet/tart flavour that some enjoy for fresh eating and is great for processing. A naturally dwarfing and bush-like variety. For a full description, see our Juliet page here. 

Please Note: Since sour cherries tend to stay true to type more than apples, these seedlings will likely bear a strong resemblance to their parent variety. However, any specific information listed on this page should be taken with a grain of salt as there may be some variation from the parent tree.

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.
