About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

Morellenfeuer is a tougher alternative to the classic ‚Schattenmorelle’ and delivers similarly dark, savoury fruits, but with noticeably better resistance to Monilia blossom and twig blight. It is self-fertile and gets along well on its own in the garden. A good choice if you are looking for an easy-care sour cherry for cakes and jam.

Dark red, juicy flesh with a fruity acidity and a quiet sweetness that makes it good even for nibbling at full ripeness. Preserved and in a cake it is a reliable classic.
