Patio Cherry Regina 1 x Tree Late November

Big, Sweet Cherries from Your Patio Large, dark red dessert cherries Sweet, juicy flesh with excellent flavour Heavy and reliable cropper Good resistance to fruit splitting Hardy and well suited to the UK climate ‘Regina’ is a German-bred dessert cherry that has earned a strong reputation with both commercial growers and home gardeners. Highly productive, it produces generous crops of large cherries that ripen to a deep glossy red, becoming very dark when fully ripe. Inside, the flesh is firm, juicy and wonderfully sweet. One of its real strengths is its good resistance to fruit splitting, a particularly useful quality in a British summer when rainfall around ripening time can cause some sweet cherries to crack. It’s also a later-ripening variety, extending the cherry-picking season when earlier varieties are coming to an end. Hardy and reliable, ‘Regina’ performs well across the UK and is a particularly good choice for cooler and northern areas. Spring blossom brings another season of interest and attracts pollinating insects before the fruits begin to develop. ‘Regina’ isn’t self-fertile, so grow it within pollinating distance of a compatible cherry for a good crop.
