Crimson Royal Cherry

The Royal Crimson Cherry (Prunus avium) is an exciting new low-chill variety, perfect for warmer climates. This self-fertile cherry produces large, sweet crimson-red fruit with an estimated chill requirement of only 200-300 hours, making it ideal for areas with milder winters like Perth metro including coastal.

Unlike traditional cherries, the Royal Crimson doesn't need a cold winter to set fruit, allowing gardeners in warmer regions to enjoy a bountiful cherry harvest straight from the tree.

Plant this variety in full sun with well-fertilised, well-drained soil. Regular pruning, fertilising, and watering will ensure an abundant crop. Protect from harsh summer heat in first 2 years.
