Evaluation
The commercial value of this variety is high because of its early ripening time, high versatility and suitability for mechanical harvest. The susceptibility to Monilia is average. Heimans Rubin should be planted on very dry and warm sites, because of its susceptibility to bacterial canker infection in cool and humid areas.
The sensitivity to the Stecklenberger disease of cherry (PNRSV) must be taken into account when selecting the location.
