Royal Ann Cherry Tree

The Royal Ann Cherry Tree is a medium-sized tree that carries up to 50 pounds of delicious fruit each year. The sweet cherries are yellow and pink, with delicious flesh. This delicate variety is rarely available in stores, and it’s ideal for baking, canning and even for making maraschino cherries. In spring the tree has beautiful white blossoms on the bare stems, and bright fall colors of orange, red and pink. Grow it as a lawn tree, in a home orchard or save room by training it on a wall or fence.

• Delicious sweet cherries with pink and yellow skins
• Perfect for eating fresh, baking, canning and maraschino cherries

Full sun is best for growing the Royal Ann Cherry Tree, and it does best in deep, rich soil that is not too dry, but is well-drained, not wet. Although some pests or diseases are possible, good culture will give a worthwhile crop with minimal effort. Some annual pruning is important during the early years to develop a good tree, but overall care is not great. Another sweet cherry variety is needed for a good crop of fruit to develop.
