• Appearance: A tall, upright tree with smooth, reddish bark and dark green leaves 
• Flowers: White, fragrant flowers in clusters of two to five in early spring 
• Fruit: Large, heart-shaped, dark red cherries with firm, purple-red flesh 
• Pollination: Requires cross-pollination with a compatible variety, such as Black Tartarian, Rainier, or Stella

• Sunlight: Full sun 
• Harvest: Can be eaten fresh, canned, or used for preserves 
• Hardiness: Zones 5-8

• Pruning: Regular pruning during the dormant season helps shape the tree, improve airflow, and promote fruit development. Pruning also assists in maintaining the tree's structure.
• Watering: Consistent moisture is vital, especially during the growing season. Deep watering at the root zone encourages vigorous growth and a bountiful harvest. We recommend a minimum 2 gallons of water every single day for the first 3-4 months. During the Summer trees need to be water early in the morning and in the afternoon, twice a day!
