Description
A must-have for sweet cherry lovers in the North! Tested in Norway and across Montana, this tree still managed to reliably bear crops of large, glossy-skinned purplish-black cherries. Fruit is firm and meaty, marvelous for fresh-eating. Originates from Geneva, New York, developed in 1938, introduced in 1982. Cold hardy. Ripens in July. Pollinator required: Choose another sweet cherry variety. See Recommended Pollinators below.
