About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

You will find that ‚Achat’ is a modern sour cherry from the Pillnitzer Edelstein series, bred for good health and large, firm fruit. It shows a clearly better tolerance against monilia tip drought than the old ‚Schattenmorelle’ and is self‑fertile. It is a reliable, low‑maintenance variety for the modern home garden.

You will enjoy large, dark red fruit with balanced acidity and full aroma, pleasant for fresh consumption and equally convincing in cakes or as juice. The firm flesh is easy to pit.
