About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

Köröser Weichsel comes from the Hungarian tradition of dark sour cherries and is a well known processing variety there. Its very dark, strongly colouring fruits are self fertile and borne abundantly. If you love juice, liqueur or richly coloured preserves, it is an excellent choice.

Very dark, intensely colouring flesh with a full, clear acidity and a deep sour cherry aroma. Tart when raw, but magnificent as juice, syrup or distilling cherry.
