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.

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.

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).

Teeny tiny plant
Reviewed By: Adam (Davis, California)
I have ordered from Gurneys before and wasn't expecting this bush cherry to be as large as the Ranier Cherry tree I bought at the local garden center, but neither was I expecting it to be THIS small. It doesn't mention the size in the description except "potted plant". I was thinking maybe as large as the small citrus trees sold at the supercenter, but this was about a 1 1/2 inch pot with the thinnest little twig you can imagine about the length of my finger. These had better be some great cherries to be worth $30 for this tiny plant. I have started cuttings that are larger than this. If you are expecting something this small when you order it might not be that bad, but expect it to be small. Smaller than a tomato seedling, smaller than a pencil, about as big around as a piece of spaghetti, but only half the length. NOW I understand why it takes 4 years to get fruit.
