Tree
Vigor
The habit of this medium strong growing sweet cherry is similar to 'Kordia'. The pendulous branches are typical for this selection. With appropriate pruning the vegetative growth is promoted and prevents production of blind wood. Unusual is the very late sprouting in spring.
Health
The susceptibility to Pseudomonas is comparable with the mother variety SWEETHEART ™ Sumtare (S).
Crop load
From the beginning this selection shows a very regular production with an optimal crop without any overproduction.
