 o
Carmen Jewel from seed ?

I read on a posting some time ago that Carmen Jewel comes true from seed but Evans doesn't. The thread escapes my searches. Can someone confirm this?

I put some Carmen Jewel seeds in the ground last fall and they are coming up. Am I wasting my time? I would like fruit not just a decorative tree.

Carmine Jewel is a hybrid cherry. It is a cross between a sour cherry and the Mongolian cherry bush. Its offspring should revert back to characteristics of the parents, not produce another Carmine Jewel.

The developer of Carmine Jewel said that he thought that about 75% of the plants grown from Carmine Jewel seed should produce fruit like the parent.

There's only one way to find out. I just have to find room to grow them.
