Description
Enhance your garden with the Joy Bush Cherry, a compact and highly productive cherry bush that’s perfect for both home and commercial growers. Reaching only 4 feet tall and wide, this bush is ideal for small spaces while still delivering big yields of tart cherries. Each plant can produce 8-10 pounds of fruit, offering an abundance of cherries for fresh eating, baking, and preserves.
The medium-sized cherries ripen mid to late September, comparable to Montmorency tart cherries in size and flavor. The bush’s growth habit makes it excellent for mechanical harvesting, much like raspberries or blueberries, providing a labor-saving option for larger harvests.
For best results, plant with a Jan Bush Cherry to ensure cross-pollination and maximize yields. The Joy Bush Cherry is a reliable and productive variety, delivering a consistent harvest year after year with minimal maintenance.
Ideal for USDA Hardiness Zones 3-8, this cherry bush prefers full sun and well-drained soil, requiring regular watering during fruiting season. Whether you’re looking to create delicious cherry desserts or simply enjoy fresh tart cherries, the Joy Bush Cherry is a delightful addition to any garden.
