Imagine stepping out on your patio and picking a pound of large, tart red cherries for a fresh, homemade pie. This bush cherry tree makes that possible. Growing only 5-8' tall, Wowza! can be grown in a container and its fruit picked with ease. And when it's time to prune, you can work without a ladder. Wowza! produces up to 20 lbs of fruit, and each bright red cherry is twice the size of other popular varieties on the market. With more than 50 years of research behind it, Wowza! is the perfect choice for home gardeners. And because it's cold hardy to zone 2, it's ideal for Northern gardens.

Top of the class flavor. Color is so bright and rich - no dyes needed! Cherries have an excellent flesh-to-pit ratio, so there will be plenty to enjoy. Its elongated pit makes it unsuitable for most mechanical harvesters, which means that this variety will only be available for home gardens and u-pick operations.
