Morello cherry

Morello is the most widely planted cultivar group of sour cherry (Prunus cerasus subsp. acida) in Central Europe. It is a late-ripening cherry with high yields.

It also gives its name to a group of varieties of the subspecies acida: the tarter, dark-juiced morello cherries. These include the varieties "Balaton", "Ostheim" and "Fanal". On the other hand, the morello cherry in the narrower sense consists of a mixture of forms that have a certain genetic diversity and from which some named clones have been selected, like "Scharö" and "Boscha".
