I bought three carmine jewel about 5 years ago. I planned on in my backyard, 
and gave the other two to friends. All in zone 6, eastern ma.

The first year, one was eaten to the ground, but it resprouted the next year. 
All three have grown well since then, and were perhaps 6-7 feet tall last 
year. All bloomed a little two years ago, and bloomed heavily last year. 
Oddly for a cherry, they bloomed after the leaves had sprouted. The flowers 
are small and inconspicuous.

All three trees set a little fruit two years ago, and set a lot of fruit last 
year. All three owners caged our trees last summer, and despite that, the 
critters ate every single cherry of all three trees well before they ripened. 
None of us has tasted the fruit.

My tree has been very healthy. I've seen minor insect damage, and no sign of 
other problems. I pruned mine heavily last fall, to keep it inside the cage, 
which I plan to reinforce with a floor this summer.

Other than critter problems, the trees have been very low maintenance.
