Description
Big, stunningly beautiful sweet cherries. Exceptionally large, dark-skinned, midnight-red fruit ripens along with Bing, in early June. The texture is smooth, medium-firm and dense, with an pronounced cherry flavor and nice little crunch. This variety has a very high brix (sugar) count, at 21. The long stems won’t break off easily when harvesting, in the event that you want to leave them on for an elegant dessert or cocktail presentation. Canker-tolerant and crack-resistant, even after rains of up to an inch. Pollinator required: Choose another early blooming sweet cherry variety. See Recommended Pollinators below. NY 32 cultivar.
