Only one disease is a problem and requires a fungicide spray or two a year Sour Cherry Leaf Spot .Carmine jewell have been grown here since their release in the USA. I waited for years patiently as I saw how well they did in Canada. They began replacing evans in Canada so i knew they were exceptional. Evans is believed to be a child of montmorency. Growing montmorency as well im aware its really good. North star does not do great for me here which is a parent of carmine jewell. There have been a couple of years where illness prevented me from taking care of the cherries. Have lost 2 bushes throughout the years and gained a million from suckers! They are great cherry bushes there is nothing better than Carmine jewell. These bushes are highly resistant to canker.
