Product Description
The Royal Ann Cherry tree, scientifically known as Prunus avium 'Royal Ann', is a highly esteemed deciduous fruit tree celebrated for its beautiful blossoms and delicious cherries. This tree is well-suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 5 through 9, making it adaptable to a wide range of climates. At maturity, the Royal Ann Cherry tree typically reaches a height of 20 to 30 feet with a spread of 15 to 25 feet, creating a picturesque addition to home orchards and gardens. In early spring, the Royal Ann Cherry tree is adorned with an abundance of white to pale pink blossoms that cover its branches, adding stunning visual appeal and attracting bees and other pollinators. As the flowers fade, dark green, serrated leaves emerge, providing a lush canopy throughout the summer. By late spring to early summer, the tree produces clusters of large, yellowish-red cherries. These cherries are renowned for their sweet, juicy flavor and firm texture, making them perfect for fresh eating, canning, and baking. To care for the Royal Ann Cherry tree, plant it in well-drained soil and ensure it receives full sun exposure to promote healthy growth and maximum fruit production. Regular watering is essential, particularly during dry periods and the tree's establishment phase. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring to maintain the tree's shape, improve air circulation, and remove any dead or diseased branches. Applying a balanced fertilizer in early spring can further support healthy growth and a bountiful harvest. With its stunning blossoms, attractive foliage, and delicious cherries, the Royal Ann Cherry tree is a prized addition to any garden or orchard, offering both ornamental beauty and a reliable supply of sweet, flavorful fruit.
