Cupid Cherry vs Purple Leaf Sand CherryPrunus x kerrasis Cupid Prunus x cistena SOLD OUT ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 
Cupid Cherry is a hardy deciduous hybrid shrub variety of Sour Cherry released in the Romance Series of dwarf sour cherries from the University of Saskatchewan in 2004. Cupid Cherry produces the largest fruit of all the sour cherries which is dark/red fruit and perfect for fresh eating but it tends to be a bit later than other varieties.
Purple Leaf Sand Cherry provides bright reddish-purple leaves that turn bronze-green in the fall. In the spring, tiny flowers with a pinkish white hue bloom. The flowers are small, but the impact comes from the shrub blossoming all at once. CUPID CHERRY QUICK FACTSPURPLE LEAF SAND CHERRY QUICK FACTS
