A late-season variety that produces big, delicious, and succulent, dark heart-shaped fruits – perfect as a dessert or baking cherry. With a mid-July ripening time, ‘Karina’ is an exceptional fruit tree offering a firm texture and versatility, making it an excellent choice when limited space allows for only one cherry tree. Great in most soils except dry, light and sandy.

Pollination Information: Though self-fertile, this cherry will produce a bigger crop if planted with another variety of cherry nearby. Ideally this should come from the same pollination group 4, however it is possible to use one from group 3 as well.

Garden care: When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly. Stone fruits like the cherry should be lightly pruned in the summer because they are prone to a disease called Silver Leaf which enters through cuts. If you prune in late summer, the sap is slowing but is still running fast enough to seal up any wounds. Lightly prune to retain shape and remove any damaged, diseased or broken branches.
