Sour cherry, also known as Tart cherry, Morello cherry, Amarelle cherry, Dwarf cherry
Sour cherry requires certain growing conditions to thrive, including well-draining soil and full sun exposure. Special care points include regular pruning to maintain health and shape as well as protection from late spring frosts which can damage blossoms and impact fruit production. Watering should be consistent, especially during fruit development, but overwatering must be avoided to prevent root rot.
