Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the group of soft heart-shaped sweet cherries. The fruits are medium to large in size, colored dark red, turning dark red-violet upon full maturity with a characteristic gloss. The flesh is very juicy, soft in consistency, has a sweet taste and a pronounced aroma.

The tree is characterized by vigorous growth at a young age and can be trained as a standard or semi-standard tree. The variety is distinguished by regular yields and winter hardiness. The early ripening period, occurring in early to mid-June, allows the fruits to avoid mass infestation by the cherry fruit fly.

The plant is a good pollinator for other early-flowering varieties. The fruits are primarily consumed fresh and are also suitable for making juices, jams, use in baking, and canning.
