Sour cherry, Prunus cerasus
Achat (S) is suitable for direct marketing as well as for the fresh market. This sour cherry forms a very dense crown, the fruits are slightly hidden under the foliage. Because of the high stalk retention it is not suited for mechanical harvesting. Achat (S) has a strong growth and as a consequence it is advisable to use less vigorous rootstocks.
