Danube™ Red Juice Cherry

Introduced by Michigan State University, Danube is like a cross of pie and sweet cherry. The very large, firm, deep burgundy-red fruits have thick red flesh and red juice with unique sweet flavor and high sugar content that makes them exceptionally delicious for fresh eating, desserts and home wine-making. Ripening early to mid-July, the cherries store well, keeping for days at room temperature. Trees are self-fertile and grow 10 to 15 feet tall. Budded on Hungarian-type Mahaleb rootstock.
