Introducing Carmine Jewel — an early-ripening dwarf cherry that delivers purplish-red fruit well suited for fresh eating, baking, or drying. High yield, compact habit, and cold hardiness make it a garden gem.
Quick highlights:
• Hardiness: Extremely cold-tolerant — thrives where many cherries struggle.
• Productivity: High yields; expect increasing harvests from year 3 to 5.
• Cherry size: Medium-large for a bush cherry; flavourful with rich colour through the flesh.
• Firmness: Firm fruit that holds up well for preserves and drying.
Developed in the University of Saskatchewan’s Romance cherry program, Carmine Jewel is one of the first to ripen, offering cherries earlier than many bush types. Its sweet-tart balance, attractive dark fruit, and reliable flowering make it a favourite among home growers who want flavour, beauty, and performance in a compact cherry bush.
