Carmine Jewel Cherry vs Blue Moon Wisteria
Prunus x kerrasis Carmine Jewel
Wisteria macrostachya Blue Moon
Carmine Jewel Cherry is a cold-hardy dwarf sour cherry. It is typically highly productive and one of the first varieties to ripen in summer. It produces deep red, tart fruit that are well-suited for fresh eating, baking, and preserves. In the spring, beautiful white flowers cover the branches, adding ornamental value.
Carmine Jewel Cherry was developed at the University of Saskatchewan. It is recommended to grow dwarf sour cherries as a shrub rather than a small tree. The shrub form tends to bear fruit earlier and is less susceptible to winterkill.
Sour cherries are self-fertile; however, planting with additional varieties for cross-pollination can increase yields.
Blue Moon Wisteria is a striking, flowering vine, and the hardiest of the wisterias. Up to three times in one growing season you can expect showy, fragrant, lavender-blue flowers.
Make sure you plan your site as this vine requires a structure to support its mature weight. Try planting close to a post, trellis, or fence.
