Prunus 'Sweetheart' is one of the latest ripening, self fertile, sweet cherries with a useful prolonged picking season due to uneven ripening. The fruits are large and firm with a good flavour. The leaves are ovate with a deep green colouring and in spring they are accompanied by a pretty white blossom. This cherry is very productive when grown in a sheltered situation. This is a self fertile cherry, which will also help to pollinate most other varieties.
