Prunus avium 'Royal Crimson'

The pot of "Crimson" at the end of the rainbow for low-chill growers with small yards! New, long awaited, low-chill, self-fruitful sweet cherry, expected to be a home run for Zaiger Genetics. Bright crimson with superb flavor, this important new variety has the added benefit of blooming with other low chill varieties Minnie Royal and Royal Lee.

Will fruit without a pollinizing partner, but will set more fruit with a buddy. Estimated chill requirement only 200-300 hours. 

USDA Zone: 7-10

Grow Height: 15-18' (Semi-Dwarf)

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: July

Pollination: Self Fertile

Rootstock: Maxma 14

Hete's hoping

The tree arrived a little late, as it was already in bud. However, we planted it after soaking it, and have watered it daily. It is now leafing out. The trunk is larger and sturdier than most of our new trees, and it was well pruned.

Royal Crimson Cherry

I have ordered from Raintree Nursery several times in the past and like previous orders I am thoroughly pleased with their products. The trees have been in excellent condition, well pruned, abundant root development, starting to bud out and absolutely ready to plant. From my experience I have no reservations about recommending Raintree or personally ordering from them again.

A friend sent this to me as a gift just over a year ago. The tree withstood the 2nd hottest second driest summer on record with very little shade and on a hand watering schedule. It was planted with extreme love, meaning I excavated a large 6 foot diameter area and enhanced the soil greatly.
The tree was about 3 foot tall when planted and is now well over 7 foot tall and pushing beautiful dense foliage this spring.
