Fertille (S)
Sweet cherry, Prunus avium
Interesting variety in the medium early ripening period with very good firmness. Fertille (S) impresses with its attractive appearance and good fruit qualities. The full-bodied, long-lasting flavour preserves also when stored.
Like in all medium-early sweet cherry varieties strict stronger pruning prevents overcropping. The vitality of the trees supports the fruit quality regarding size, firmness and taste. It also encourages the early ripening of the fruits.
