Morina® is a partially self-fertile variety of sour cherry. It produces large, spherical, dark red, glossy, freestone fruit. The flesh is dark red, more sour than sweet, and the fruit ripens between 5th and 6th cherry week i.e. from end July until the first decade of August. Morina is very juicy and is suitable for juices and preserves.
The tree is moderately slow growing, compact and densely branched, and requires no pruning. It is early to start producing good amount of fruit. It is reasonably resistant to moniliosis, and even though it is partially self-fertile another cherry nearby will secure higher yield. Suitable sour cherry pollinators are Morello or Fanal, and among sweet cherries you can use
Being self-fertile it requires no pollination partner. Grow it in well-drained, preferably acidic and fertile soil in full sun. It will benefit from extra watering during dry spells from spring to early summer before the fruit turns red. It is tolerant of partial shade. Hardy to min. -29°C.
