Stardust Cherry on Mahaleb – Quinte Gardens Nursery

Description

Stardust is a large, firm, blush variety with a distinctive cream background color. Maturing 12 to 15 days after Bing. Stardust has the potential to extend the Rainier season. Like other blush varieties, growers may want to pick this variety more than once to attain maximum fruit color. Stardust is moderately split-resistant when compared to other blush cherries.

Stardust is a new white-fleshed cherry which is also self-fertile. White-fleshed or “blush” cherries are rarely available in the shops because they bruise more easily than the dark-fleshed varieties.

Stardust cherries are a medium to large size, orange-flushed, with a firm creamy-white flesh and an excellent flavor. Ripen late season.

2 yr old bareroot trees on Mahaleb rootstock, will mature 18-20′. Order now for May 3rd or 4th pickup.
