Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A fine gift from the Montmorency Valley of France, this hardy, vigorous, disease-resistant tree produces masses of beautiful bright-white flowers in spring which become heavy crops of large, bright-red summer cherries with amber flesh, the fruit is deliciously tart and is one of the best for canning, cobblers and pies; a very heavy producer eventually reaching 20-30'; this tree is self-fertile so only one is required.
