Carmine Jewel Dwarf Cherry Tree

Carmine Jewel Dwarf Cherry Tree

Tastes Better Than Any Other
Cherry, Including Sweet Cherries!

  (31 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.
Carmine Jewel Exhibits Hardiness into Zone 2b. However, due to the newness of this cultivar, regional testing has not been completed, so no data as to Southern adaptability is available. Remember our Lifetime Guarantee applies to Carmine Jewel. Self-pollinating. Potted.
Not available in CA, OR, WA.

This item ships at the proper planting time for your region in both spring and fall.
If the current shipping season is closed, your order will ship at the proper time in the next season.

Carmine jewel dwarf cherry, not yet rated for the south, but thought I would take a chance as I really did not want a tree. I ordered 2 in June and they looked weak at first. One did not make it. The one that did has tripled in size (about 8" tall when planted). Called Gurneys and they are replacing the one. It will be interesting to see how they differ a year from now. Very pleased.

Ten inch twigs planted in spring of 2010 in red clay soil with no prep or care. Did not grow one inch in first year and thought they were dead. Summer of 2011 grew to almost three feet in second year with mulch and fertilizer. Both summers were record setting in heat and very little rain. Given growing conditions, my care of plants, and lack of southern info I'm surpised and delighted they are doing so well.

I planted two of these this spring. We had major hailstorms (baseball sized) so the trees got smashed. They came back, then the roofers repairing the hail damage broke them again. Now at the end of the summer they have come back and are 5 times taller than when I planted them. I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do when they're not being destroyed every other month!
