This is a late cherry variety, harvested from mid-July to August. It can extend the cherry season well after earlier varieties such as Burlat.

Flowering is late. Gascogne Tardive de Seninghem pollinates well with Blanc Nez, Gros Bigarreau de la Groise, Blanche d’Harcigny and other compatible cherry varieties flowering at the same period.

In the Haut-Artois dialect, the fruits of Gascogne Tardive de Seninghem are known as “Blanq Ed Panse”.
