A late-season sweet cherry, Sweetheart is a variety prized for its bright red fruit, crisp texture, and balanced sweet-tart flavor. It is self-fertile, making it easy to grow without a pollination partner, and is a favorite for fresh eating. The fruit is medium to large and ripens later than many other varieties, extending the cherry harvest. Sweetheart cherry trees require about 700 to 800 chilling hours.
