English Morello
A tier
English Morello is a late dark sour cherry long grown in Britain—almost black-red fruit, dark juice, soft flesh, and classic cooking quality for pies and preserves in cool summers. Trees are relatively compact and often productive against walls in traditional kitchen gardens. Flavour is deep and acidic. Use for traditional British cherry pie, jam, and bottling. Late ripening extends the sour cherry window after earlier types. Fresh dessert use needs plenty of sugar.
