Description
Superb for pies or juice. The fruit from this variety is like Montmorency, but larger and firmer. It ripens over an extended period of time, so you can stretch out your enjoyment of fresh cherries with bright red juice. Originates from Újfehértói, Hungary, introduced to the U.S. circa 1998. Ripens in late June. Self-pollinating, but bears larger crops when pollinated with another pie cherry tree.
