(cv. Ridgewood) One of the best black sweet cherries for cold areas. Late-season bloom, frost-tolerant blossoms and above-average tree hardiness combine to make this self-fertile black sweet cherry one of the most dependable for colder areas. Trees yield big crops of large, firm, black-red, flavorful fruits that resist cracking. Fruit ripens in late July. A Cornell University introduction. Zones: 5-7.
Although partially self-fruitful, fruit production will increase with proper cross-pollination. We recommend planting with Benton® or WhiteGold®.
Growing Zone: 5-7
