This is the heirloom cherry variety that has been around for a century. The indeterminate vines are not as phenomenally heavy yielding as some of the new hybrids but yields are still good. Flavor is excellent, a bit more acid than its modern counterparts. Size is just right, that of a ping pong ball. Culture: For earliest harvest, sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, keeping soil temperature in the mid 70’s. Shift hardened transplants to garden shortly after last frost in full sun. Water regularly and fertilize when 6” (15 cm) tall and again in mid-summer. Stake or cage to save space. Harvest: Pick carefully when richly colored and firm, but before fruit begins to soften. Nutrition: Rich in calcium, iron, and vitamins A & C.
