The Morello Cherry is a distinct cultivar of sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) renowned for its deep red, tart fruit and versatile applications in culinary and industrial contexts. Unlike sweet cherries (Prunus avium), Morello cherries exhibit a pronounced acidity and lower sugar content, making them unsuitable for fresh consumption but ideal for processing. Their cultivation spans temperate regions globally, with historical significance in European and North American horticulture.
