Growing only 5-8' tall, Wowza! can be grown in a container and its fruit picked with ease. And when it's time to prune, you can work without a ladder. Wowza! produces up to 20 lbs of fruit, and each bright red cherry is twice the size of other popular varieties on the market. With more than 50 years of research behind it, Wowza! is the perfect choice for home gardeners. And because it's cold hardy to zone 2, it's ideal for Northern gardens.

- pruningPrune damaged, diseased, and dead limbs. Remove limbs that grow inward toward the center of the bush. Prune close to a third of the new growth (from that year) annually, while plants are dormant. Prune in early spring before the bush breaks dormancy. Cherry buds are either vegetative or floral. Usually the end bud and thin side buds are vegetative and most of the larger buds are floral. When pruning, do not cut off tips of branches because you might be removing the vegetative buds and will have nothing to make new shoots.
