Sunburst is another modern variety of self-fertile sweet cherries. It produces heavy yields of large, dark red, glossy, free-stone fruit of excellent flavour – sweet and juicy. Harvest begins in late July. The fruit is significantly resistant to cracking in rainy weather.

Self-fertile means it does not need a pollinating partner and you can have just one tree in the garden and there will always be fruit. Moreover, it is a good pollinator for many other self-sterile sweet cheries commonly cultivated.

It grows at medium growth rate, forming an upright tree with rounded crown with age. Cherry trees like slightly acidic, humus rich, well drained but moist soil. When the fruit is formed some extra watering is a help in dry seasons. Fully hardy to min. -29°C.
