| Description |
The black Santina™ cherry is a good choice for the early market. The fruit is moderately large and firm with a highly attractive, black, lustrous skin, a flattened heart shape and medium-long stems; good flavor and is moderately sweet. The tree is self-fertile, does not over-set and is considered to be moderately tolerant to splitting but appears to be prone to nose splitting when it does split. |
