Double your harvest with Romeo and Juliet, two compact cherry trees bred by the University of Saskatchewan to thrive through exceptionally cold northern winters. Juliet produces glossy, bright red cherries with a rich sweet-tart flavor, while Romeo ripens slightly later with darker fruit that's especially delicious for baking, jams, and preserves. Naturally growing just five to eight feet tall, these ultra-hardy cherries fit beautifully into small orchards, edible hedges, and even large patio containers.

• • Naturally dwarf varieties mean easy netting, easy picking, no ladder needed
