About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

Sunburst is a self fertile sweet cherry, so you do not need a second tree as a pollinator, which makes it ideal for small gardens. The large, dark red fruits ripen at the end of June and are soft, juicy and mildly sweet. Being self fertile, it is also a reliable pollen donor for other cherries nearby. In wet weather shortly before harvest the soft fruits are prone to splitting.

Soft, very juicy flesh with a pleasantly mild sweetness. An easygoing solo cherry for eating straight off the tree that sets a heavy crop even without a pollination partner.
