Without much foliage and with more exposure to sun, the fruit develops a mostly red color rather than a heavy blush. It has a soft texture and a high sugar content.

The cherries have a sweet, mild flavor and are used for fresh eating, canning, and producing maraschino cherries. The tree exhibits an upright growth habit, reaching a mature height of 12 to 20 feet. It requires full to partial sun, well-drained soil, and a compatible sweet cherry variety for cross-pollination. It is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis product is a dormant cutting that will generally be used for grafting onto an existing tree of the same type or onto compatible rootstock.

The tree exhibits medium vigor with a semi-erect growth habit, reaching a mature height of 12 to 20 feet depending on rootstock. It blooms in early April and the fruit ripens mid-season, typically from late May to early June. This variety requires 800 chill hours and a cross-pollinator such as Bing, Rainier, or Van.
