A standout among dwarf cherries, this self-pollinating variety produces large, dark red fruit that’s firmer and sweeter than typical sour cherries. With fruit nearly the size of sweet cherries, it’s perfect for fresh eating, juicing, or preserving. Compact, productive, and delicious, just as the name promises.
