Kordia is a Czech variety of sweet cherry. It produces masses of deep red fruit in the first half of July. The fruit has solid flesh and sweet, delicious flavour. As a late cherry it needs protection from cherry-worms.

It is self-sterile and needs a pollinator nearby to produce fruit. The best varieties for heavy crop are Van and Hedelfingen. The fruit is reasonably resistant to cracking in rainy weather. It grows vigorously as a young tree, forming a rounded crown. It likes slightly acidic, well drained but moist soil. Fully hardy.
