Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Grows best in average to evenly moist conditions, in full sun. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will thrive in city environments. This is a self-pollinating cultivar so it doesn't require a second plant nearby to set fruit, but yields may increase with the presence of another cultivar

Additional Notes about Romeo Cherry:

Romeo was released as part of the Romance series in 2004. It is the mildest flavour of the Romance series cherries, and the hardiest selection.
