Cherries
Varieties
-
Bing
Almost the iconic cherry – big, heart-shaped fruit with dark red skin and lovely firm ruby-red flesh. Eat them fresh or cooked, they are sweet and slightly rich, best late in the season.

Stella
The Christmas cherry! Adorning many a table from mid-December, they’re medium to large, heart-shaped, dark red, with sweet and firm flesh.
-
Lapin
These large ‘late bloomers’ are available mid-December to January and have dark red skin with golden-red flesh. Large, sweet dark red cherries. Great for fresh fruit, jam and preserving. A beautiful ornamental tree. Autumn colour. Self pollinating.

Sweetheart
A late maturing medium sized fruit, mild and sweet with bright red skin.

Sweet Georgia
A late maturing selection of Lapin, very similar in appearance and characteristics.
