The Prunus cerasus 'Morello', known as the Morello Cherry Tree, is the classic sour cherry beloved by cooks and gardeners. With its rich red fruits, sharp tangy flavour, and excellent culinary uses, Morello is the perfect variety for pies, jams, preserves, and even liqueurs. Unlike sweet cherries, it thrives in cooler conditions and is one of the best choices for shadier spots in the garden. Compact, self-fertile, and highly reliable, it’s a firm favourite for both amateur gardeners and orchard growers.
