Description

A rare self-pollinating sweet cherry! Firm, dense, garnet flesh, rich mahogany skin color and pure cherry flavor, similar to Bing — but flowers a few days later, making the profuse white blooms less susceptible to frost damage. This Stella cross bears heavy crops on a vigorous tree with an upright-spreading growth habit. Preferred by commercial growers over Bing for its self-fertility. A superior mid-season variety for both fresh eating and cobblers/pies. Ripens in mid-June and stores up to 5 weeks. Semi-freestone, easy to pit. Developed at Washington State University.

Why did you choose this?
Stark Bro'sStore

I got it for cross-pollination, but also because it's self-pollinating, had good reviews, and I liked the description about blooming slighlty later to avoid frost and being easy to pit.

Joel D

We wanted to try another type of cherry tree.

Can't wait for some sweet cherries!
So far the tree is Thriving! We have had it only 4 months, but it has grown quite a bit. No cherries yet of course, but looking forward to some in a couple of years.

Dwarf Cherry tree
So far so good. I was surprised how much it grew since I planted it. Can't wait to see how it grows next summer, and when it will have fruit. Will be ordering more fruit trees from them next year because they are the only business that I found that have dwarf trees, and there trees come to you healthy and on time for the planting season.

Looks very promising in the first year
Out of the four cherry trees I bought from here, this one is the healthiest with very vigorous shoots. I was surprised that it flowered and gave three fruits in its first year.

Fast growing tee
The tree is really growing fast! We had snow up until the first week in May, so it did not get a chance to blossom.
