Self pollinating cherry that has been grown in the Edmonton area since 1923, and is also someimtes known as Horsehills Cherry. Masses of white blossoms in the spring and attractive reddish bark. The fruit at first is orangey red in colour and quite sour, but if you leave the fruit on until it turns a deeper red, then the flavour improves. Semi-sweet fruit good for canning, jams, pies and eating. The tree prefers poor soil rather than very rich soil and is available as a shrub and in tree form.
