Notes
Crimson Passion was released as part of the Romance series in 2004. It is the sweetest of the Romance series cherries but also contains the tangy flavour of sour cherry. The botanical name for Crimson Passion Cherry has been updated from Cherry-shrub x 'Crimson Passion' to Prunus x kerrasis 'Crimson Passion'.
