"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)

I also was surprised by the light bright fruit colour Tabby 14:22, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

The plant in the picture seems to have a disease, and because of that or the climate will probably never ripen. The fruits are very unripe hence the color. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rklz2 (talk • contribs) 07:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I changed the picture to one showing a more ripe cherry: —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rklz2 (talk • contribs) 08:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
