This is the one to choose if you want an outstanding large yellow cherry early in the season. The white flesh is firm and the fruit is heart-shaped rather than round. Growth is distinctively upright and the leaves are ovate in shape and dark green in colour; the leaves have an added interest in autumn when they turn red and orange before falling. To guarantee cross pollination plant in a sunny, open site with another tree from the same flowering group (e.g. 'Morello').
