Our Variety Assessment

Its strengths, growing requirements and the conditions in which it performs best.

Kordia suits sunny gardens and orchards seeking a premium dessert cherry. Its large, almost black fruit is firm, juicy, flavoursome and keeps well after picking. We recommend it to growers who enjoy crisp cherries with plenty of character, while its partial resistance to cracking is valuable. Kordia is not self-fertile and requires a compatible pollinator.
