The Romance Series tart cherries developed at the University of Saskatchewan develop into medium shrubs that make maintenance and harvest easier. They produce an annual crop of flavourful fruit that can be eaten out of hand or processed into preserves, pie filling, juice and wine. Plants are self-fertile and do not require cross pollination.
Romeo is the best of the series for juicing. Ripens late August. Few suckers.
