Cherry-shrub x 'Cupid'

Cherry-shrub x 'Cupid': Large Dark Cherries Later in Summer

Cupid produces large cherries that deepen from dark red toward black, with a sweet flavour. Its late-August crop helps extend picking beyond earlier shrub cherries.

Plant Characteristics:

• Height: 200-250 cm
• Spread: 100-125 cm
• Flower Colour: White
• Flowering Period: Spring
• Foliage: Green
• Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun
• Soil Requirements: Moist to Average Soil; Well-Drained Soil

Uses and Benefits: Enjoy the fruit fresh or process a larger harvest for later use. The upright shrub makes an orchard-style crop possible without a full-sized cherry tree.

Care Instructions: Keep the root zone watered while the late crop grows and maintain a sunny, open canopy. Remove damaged stems and harvest at full colour so the flavour has time to develop.
