MOKELLO {Agnate or Murillo ; Milan ; Black Morello ; Dutch 

 Morello ; Late Morello ; Ronalds' Large Morello ; Cerise du Morel ; 

 Griotte Ordinaire du Morel ; Morelle ; Grown Morello). — Fruit, large, 

 roundish, inclining to heart-shaped ; compressed a little on one side, 

 which is marked with a slight suture, and somewhat depressed at the 

 apex. Skin, dark red, but changing to a deeper colour, and becoming 

 almost black the longer it hangs on the tree. Stalk, from an inch and 

 a half to two inches long, inserted in a shght depression. Flesh, deep 

 purplish red, tender, juicy, and briskly acid, but when allowed to hang 

 till it attains its darkest colour, it is rich and agreeably flavoured. 



This is the best of all the cherries for culinary purposes, either for 

 preserving or to be used in confectionery. It ripens in July and 

 August, and will continue on the tree as late as September. 



The tree is of a spreading habit of growth, with pendulous shoots ; 

 it is very hardy, and an abundant bearer. It succeeds well as a 

 standard, but is generally grown against a wall exposed to the north, 

 where it produces its fruit of greater size and much later, and attains 

 greater perfection than any other variety of fruit would do in a similar 

 situation. 



This is a very old variety, being mentioned by Parkinson in 1629, and it appears 

 to me that " The great bearing cherry of Master Millen " of the same author is the 

 same as the Morello, and hence Switzer calls it the " Milan " : " is a reasonable great 

 red cherry bearing plentifully although it bee planted against a north wall, yet it 

 will bee late ripe, but of an indiflferent, sweet, and good relish."
