Re: [nafex] Juliet cherry

We had our first biggish harvest from 10 Carmine Jewels we planted
around 5 years ago. The fruit was nice, tarter than I expected. I know
you are supposed to wait until they are really black to pick them-- but
when we waited too long to pick it, the fruit got some kind of mold.
The bushes have done great here in zone3/4, with very little care, just
a once a spring mulch & compost. We also planted Crimson Passion, a
year later, got a few fruit last summer and it is indeed sweeter than
Carmine Jewel.

> Carmine Jewel did well for me in zone 5 central NY state. Bloomed quite late for a cherry, long past danger of frost. The birds loved the fruit. Late in the season, the leaves got some slight yellow spots, but not too bad. I moved away not long after I planted it, so sorry I can't report more than that.
