Each flower goes on to produce a single Royal Ann cherry. A mature fruit producing Royal Ann tree is about 12–15 feet in height. [4] The trees prefer a half to full day of sun, and soil with good drainage. [4] Royal Ann trees require a temperate climate, where the average winter temperature does not drop below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. [4]
