Carmine Jewel Dwarf Cherry
Carmine Jewel Dwarf Cherry
Tastes Better than Any Other Cherry, Including Sweet Cherries!

  (8 customer reviews)



Truly the perfect cherry, Carmine Jewel has large, gorgeous purplish-red fruit with a luscious balance of high sugars and a complement of acids, creating a rich flavor. Fruit has high flesh-to-pit ratio and is excellent for use in pies, preserves, juice, dried fruit and eating fresh. Yields up to 15+ pounds by its fourth year, and 20-30 pounds in its fifth year. Growing to only 6-1/2 ft. tall, this is a naturally dwarfed bush with full-sized fruit—much easier to maintain than typical cherries. Carmine Jewel is grown on its own roots, so you get no suckers of inferior quality root stock. Extreme cold hardiness and few problems from disease and pests make this beauty a breeze to grow. Abundant, white and pink flowers and glossy, green leaves allow it to double as an ornamental in your landscape in early spring.

I'll never know if this stick would have grown as I accidently snapped the twig while trying to plant it. therefore I can't really claim it as a defective tree.

So far-So good!

Planted over 3 months ago. Yes they were small, but have grown to over 2 ft. tall and are very healthy plants(4) and look forward to fruit for 2010! Seem to be hardy thus far.

VERY SMALL
Reviewed By: Lisa L (Winston, GA)
Believe the reviews when they tell you this plant is SMALL!!! I ordered two in the Fall...expecting a small bushy plant in possibly a 6 inch pot...and received plants about 5 to 7 inches tall (in 1.5 inch pot) with the thickness of a piece of thin spaghetti. One was poorly packed and died, which Gurneys replaced. I guess I will see what kind of growth occurs over Spring and Summer, but definitely NOT worth but a small fraction of the price Gurneys is charging. I am very disappointed in size of plants received, and I am not sure that I will shop at Gurneys again (this was my first time).
