By far the most popular acid cherry. It can be picked at the very sour, dark red stage for stewing or left under netting until near black and bitter-sweet. The flesh of the cherries is dark red and makes a fantastic preserve or pie. The tree has a compact and spreading growth habit and its reaching branches are studded with masses of white flowers in spring. The flowers are lightly scented and bring a really nice spring interest to your garden. This is a self fertile cherry, which will also help to pollinate most other varieties.
