"The Morello Cherry (in Europe), called Sour Cherry in North America" - removed this distinction; it is also very commonly called Sour Cherry in Britain (probably more often than it is called Morello Cherry) - MPF 22:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Seems like it ought to be moved to "Sour cherry" then. I worked with them for years and never heard the term "Morello." "Montmorency" was the cultivar usually planted. Pollinator 03:42, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
- I very nearly did so the first time I found the page months ago! Checked some references, it seems Morello Cherry is (mainly) used for a particular cultivar group of Sour Cherry; as this page is about the species as a whole, I'll move it now - MPF 15:10, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Why is the second word capitalised? I thought one does not capitalise all words in the name of a plant... --Missmarple 17:36, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
We can be quite sure that this picture is of a sour cherry—it hails from the photographer’s garden. But it really doesn’t look like what, in England, we call a Morello cherry. The Morello is much darker. (Even at the stage when the birds more or less strip the tree of its not-quite-ripe fruit.) —Ian Spackman 12:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
