Royal Ann, Cherry (Dwarf)
A naturally dwarfing tree, Royal Ann produces abundant crops of very large, pink and yellow fruit with a delightful flavor. They are very similar to Rainier cherries in both looks and taste but some say they are a little sweeter, more aromatic and softer than their Rainier counter parts, making them the preferred choice by some cherry lovers. They ripen mid-season and of course they are great for fresh eating, but they can also be used in your cooking, or even canned or dried.
If you have a small yard you will appreciate Royal Ann's tendency to stay small - rarely over 10 feet at maturity. These trees are also extra hardy (to USDA zone 4) and sport very colorful blossoms that are typically only seen on ornamental cherry trees!
Pollinator required - must plant near a compatible variety of Cherry for fruit production.
