De Leme

De Lemé sour cherry tree produces small cherries of the griotte type. Compared with the better-known Montmorency sour cherry, it is less acidic and sweeter than average.

The fruit has the soft flesh typical of sour cherries. It is well suited to traditional uses such as pies, jams and fruit brandies.

Harvest takes place from late June to early July.

Flowering is early to mid-season. De Lemé pollinates well with Early Rivers.

Where spring frost is a concern, the Gisela rootstock can increase the fertility of the tree, producing more flowers and therefore potentially helping compensate for frost losses.

De Lemé was found in Lemé, in the Aisne department, in the Thiérache area, a region shared with the south-east of the Nord department.

We supply De Lemé sour cherry tree bare-root, on several rootstocks and in several tree forms depending on availability.
