Prunus Merton Glory - Early Season

Description of Merton Glory Trees & Cherries:

Merton Glory is called a "white" cherry, but really its skin is golden with red highlights and the flesh is pale yellow.
They are large, heart-shaped and very tasty.
They bruise easily when fully ripe, so they don't store well & aren't grown commercially.

Merton Glory cherry trees are quite compact and upright, ideal for smaller gardens.
