Regina™ Sweet Cherry Tree

Regina™ Sweet Cherry lets you choose your flavor: picked red, the fruit is sweet-tart, and picked deep purple at full ripeness, it is superbly sweet. Either way, the flavor is strong, with a good balance of natural sugars and acidity and a high “cherry essence.” Bold and vigorous, it blooms late to avoid spring frosts, resists cracking, and keeps well in proper storage. Clingstone. Introduced from Germany in 1998, it ripens in late June. Bears in 4-7 years.

Pollinator required: choose any other sweet cherry except Van.

Sweet-Tart Red or Superbly Sweet Purple

Regina gives you a say in how your cherries taste. Pick them red and you get a sweet-tart cherry with a lively balance of natural sugars and acidity. Wait until they turn deep purple and fully ripe, and they become superbly sweet. In both cases, the flavor has a high “cherry essence” that makes it taste like a cherry should.

Late-Blooming and Crack-Resistant

Late spring frosts and summer rain are two of the biggest threats to a sweet cherry crop. Regina blooms late to avoid spring frosts, and it resists cracking, which helps protect the fruit as it ripens. The tree is bold and vigorous, and the cherries keep well in proper storage.

Introduced From Germany in 1998

Regina is a German introduction from 1998, and its clingstone fruit ripens in late June. It is a strong, flavorful choice for gardeners who want a sweet cherry with both character and reliability.
