What is the plant

The tree is smaller than the sweet cherry (growing to a height of 4–10 m), has twiggy branches, and its crimson-to-near-black cherries are borne upon shorter stalks. There are two main varieties (groups of cultivars) of the sour cherry: the dark-red Morello cherry and the lighter-red Amarelle cherry.

Water
Depending on how dry and warm the conditions are, watering every one to four weeks will be required. It's especially important not to let the roots dry out completely during the growing seasons.
Fertilizer
Cherries are recognized as being heavy feeders. They'll benefit from an annual spring feed and one in the fall until they start bearing fruit. Established trees will generally only need to be fertilized after the harvest in the fall.
Soil
The plant prefers hot climates with little rain, concentrated in just one season. It can adapt to different types of soil, although it reaches its best yield when it grows on sandy soils with a high quantity of organic matter.
