Select Cherries
Sylvia
Good flavour that is moderately sweet. Both size and colour are uniform within a pack. The stems are notably very thick and hold up well in cold storage. It has consistently had a low percentage of splitting, and is considered tolerant to rain splitting. Growers in Europe have reported that this selection is very tolerant to sun scalding. The tree has a very dense protective canopy that provides excellent protection for the fruit. This dense foliage may also offer protection from the rain.
