About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
Regina is the late market variety par excellence and a very dependable choice for the home garden: large, firm, dark red fruits with one of the best resistances to cracking of all, and even after rain showers the cherries usually stay intact. It ripens in mid July, at the end of the season. Regina is self sterile; plant ‚Kordia' alongside it, that is the proven pollinating pair.
Crisp, firm flesh with a balanced, rounded sweetness that never overdoes it. It holds on the tree for a long time and travels well, the cherry you can give away without it arriving mushy.
