About this item
The Van cherry tree is widely known to be 1 of the heaviest fruit producers out of all cherry varieties. These beautiful cherries are a deep crimson-purple in color and grow quite large in comparison to other sweet cherry varieties. Van is a precocious cherry cultivar with fruit that is sweet, juicy, and quite large. The Van tree is a modern marvel among cherries and is widely considered an improvement on the Bing cherry. Van brings all the benefits of Bing, including exceptional flavor, but it's also self-pollinating and tends to produce more pounds of fruit annually. Van is ideal for backyards because it is self-pollinating, and also due to its heavy cherry production.
