About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
Kordia is one of the best late dessert cherries, with dark, heart shaped, very firm fruits and a strong, full aroma. It ripens from early to mid July and is markedly more crack resistant than many early cultivars, a good candidate for rainy summers. Kordia needs a pollinator; ‚Regina’ is the classic partner, and the two also complement each other well in ripening time.
Firm, crisp flesh, dark to almost black, with deep sweetness and rounded acidity. A cherry that still keeps its bite and aroma after a day or two in the cool.
