About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

You will find ‚Büttners Rote Knorpelkirsche’ to be a very old German variety with bright red to yellow‑red, firm fruit, one of the classic gelbroten Knorpelkirschen. The tree grows strong and large, making it ideal as a high trunk for a pasture orchard. It ripens at the end of June, is self‑sterile and needs a pollinator such as ‚Hedelfinger Riesenkirsche’. Its bright shell makes it less conspicuous to birds than darker varieties.

You will enjoy the firm, bright knopper flesh with a mild sweet taste and little acidity. This proven old variety is great for snacking, cooking, and for cherry brandy, and its bright color provides a nice contrast in the basket.
