Product information "Bush Cherry Carmine Jewel"
At the end of the last century, the bush cherry Carmine Jewel came onto the market as the first of the bush cherries or prairie cherries and it has remained a plant that is suitable for every purpose in the assortment of bush cherries: it has relatively small fruits, but that is compensated with the smallest seeds of all bush cherries, so that the fruits look fleshier and bigger when eating. The bush cherry Carmine Jewel grows compact; it is sweet, but also sour and it can be enjoyed both fresh and processed. Add to that the early ripening season in June when you are still really hungry for cherries...If you plant a small hedge with the compact growing bush cherries (we recommend a distance of 150 cm), then this early maturing variety is essential. The outstanding feature is the extremely dark-coloured flesh and the correspondingly dark juice, which distinguishes this variety.Short description:
Maturity:
From the end of June depending on the climate, ripens the earliest of all bush cherries.
Fruits:
Slightly smaller fruits than the later varieties of the Romance series (Crimson Passion, Juliet, etc.), approx. 3.5 g, 16-19° Brix, dark red to almost black (fully ripe), the flesh and juice are also extremely intensely coloured, small seeds, favourable ratio of flesh and seeds; this makes the fruit appear larger than it is when eating.
Yield:
Yields in the third to fourth year, a little later than other bushcherries; extremely productive afterwards; very high yields usually lead to a smaller crop in the following year, but no yield loss...
Growth:
Compact, grows about 150-200 cm high.
Use:
Processing and fresh enjoyment; the intensely coloured juice makes the processing particularly interesting, for juice production, syrup production and canning.
Pollination:
Self-fertile, can easily be pollinated by its own pollen; this bush cherry can be plant alone.
Speciality:
Carmine Jewel is the variety with the darkest flesh and the most intensely coloured juice.
