The Juliet Cherry is a hybrid variety that was developed at the University of Saskatchewan, as apart of the Romance series of dwarf sour cherry varieties. It blooms earlier than the other varieties in the same family, and produces dark red fruit, and has high production yields. The berries are large and a dark red color, and are a balance of being semi-sweet and tart. The cherries are great to eat fresh off of the tree and also great for your landscape as an accent tree.

The Juliet Cherry is a deciduous tree that can grow to be about 7 ft tall, and a spread of 6 feet. It grows at a medium rate, and is a self-pollinating variety. The leaves are an oval shape, and are a glossy green color that turn yellow in the fall. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution, not particular to soil type of pH, and does best in average to evenly moist soil conditions.
