Variety description

10 August 2026

This term is a historical designation adopted in German pomology for classifying sweet cherries by flesh consistency. Unlike the bigarreau group, varieties in this group belong to the guigne type, having juicy and soft flesh, and are often early-maturing.

Since this is a collective group name, tree characteristics such as height or disease resistance vary depending on the specific variety. Common features for this botanical variety are large leaves and flowering in April-May.

The name Herzkirsche can be part of the names of specific varieties, such as Kassins Frühe Herzkirsche, Teickners Schwarze Herzkirsche or Weiße Herzkirsche, indicating their membership in this group.
