Prunus cerasus Fruit Me Cherry Me - Tart Cherry Tree

The Fruit Cherry Tree Me Cherry Me is an amazing small fruit tree that combines several qualities: it bears fruit even in the absence of a nearby pollinator, it adapts its growth to the amount of soil available, it produces fruit very quickly, and it produces large cherries of excellent taste. It is a selection well suited for small spaces and for growing in pots on balconies or patios!

The cherry tree or Prunus cerasus Fruit me Cherry me is part of a series of semi-dwarf fruit trees that have recently been developed in Spain. All the fruit trees in this range are grafted onto a cutting-edge rootstock that adapts to the available soil volume while allowing for fruit production from the first years of cultivation. The Fruit me range of fruit trees is also easy to grow, hardy, reliable, and disease-resistant.

This Cherry Me cherry tree has a compact habit and very reasonable growth, reaching only 2m (7ft) in height and 1.50m (5ft) in width at maturity in open ground. When grown in a pot, its dimensions will be even smaller. Self-fertile, this cherry tree does not need to be associated with another variety for pollination, so it can be planted alone. It bears fruit very quickly, usually after one or two years of cultivation. In spring, in April, this small tree is covered with small white flowers that appear before the leaves. This beautiful flowering, which is not very sensitive to late frosts, gives way to numerous large cherries, with a shiny red colour and juicy, crunchy, and sweet flesh, from mid-June onwards.

You can enjoy the cherries right after picking them or use them to make pies, clafoutis, jams, and other preserves. Cherries are rich in vitamin C, minerals, and trace elements.

Note that the harvest can vary from year to year and may exhibit an alternation phenomenon, allowing the bush to replenish its reserves.
