- Additional Information: These cherries are huge - and bright red! Tart fruit bakes beautifully in pies and other favorite desserts. Lower acidity makes for a really great eating experience. Top of the class flavor. Color is so bright and rich - no dyes needed! Cherries have an excellent flesh-to-pit ratio, so there will be plenty to enjoy. Its elongated pit makes it unsuitable for most mechanical harvesters, which means that this variety will only be available for home gardens and u-pick operations. Dwarf plants are easy to manage - netting, pruning, and harvesting can often be done from the ground. Bred to handle cold weather, this is a great choice for Northern gardens. PPAF.
