Morello is a traditional English cherry, primarily used for making jams, preserves and pies. Morello is a large black fruit with a dark red flesh. When it is cooked it has a rich, strong cherry flavour. Morello can be eaten fresh, but they need to be very ripe, otherwise their taste will be very acidic and bitter. Morello has a compact, spreading growth habit and is self-fertile. They have a good resistance to disease and their picking time is July\August.
