About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

Summit is a mid early ripening variety with strikingly large, heart shaped fruits and a very sweet, juicy flavour. It ripens at the end of June and makes a fine dessert cherry for the garden. Summit is self sterile, so you need a pollinator; ‚Kordia’ or the self fertile ‚Lapins’ suit it well. In wet conditions the large fruits are prone to splitting, so a rain cover is worth having.

Very large, light to dark red fruits with pronounced sweetness and plenty of juice. A cherry whose size and high sugar content make it a particular hit with children.
