Prunus ‘Crimson Passion’

Pot size: #1, #2, #5, #7, #10, #15

A cross between the tart cherry and the Mongolian cherry. The Crimson Passion Cherry is a small tree that is grown for the edible fruit. The cherries are dark red, round, with crimson flesh, and are ready for picking Mid-summer. The fruit taste sweet and have a juicy texture. Most commonly used for fresh eating, cooking, and baking. In the Spring the tree features clusters of fragrant white flowers, and green foliage that turns turns yellow in the Fall.

It is a good choice for attracting birds. Self-pollinating variety that will yield better with a second plant nearby. It does best in average to moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water.
