REGINA CHERRY

Cherry Regina is a high-performance, late-season sweet cherry variety known for its large, heart-shaped fruits and exceptional firmness. Typically, the fruits range from 28–32 mm in diameter and feature a glossy, dark red to almost black skin at full ripeness. The flesh is firm, juicy, and well-balanced in sweetness and acidity, providing excellent flavor for fresh consumption. Regina cherries are also highly resistant to cracking and have a long shelf life, which makes them particularly suitable for long-distance transport and export markets.

The trees of Cherry Regina exhibit strong vigor and a spreading growth habit, supporting high-density planting and efficient orchard management. Flowering occurs mid to late season, and cross-pollination with compatible varieties is recommended to ensure optimal fruit set and uniform ripening. Harvest generally takes place from late June to early July, allowing growers to target the late-season market segment and extend the availability of fresh cherries.

Applications and Markets: Cherry Regina is ideal for fresh fruit markets, premium export, and high-quality processing, including jams, desserts, and confectionery. Its large, firm fruits and crack-resistant skin make it particularly attractive for wholesalers, retailers, and consumers seeking premium cherries. This variety is highly valued in markets requiring consistent size, appealing color, and superior taste, ensuring strong commercial demand in both domestic and international markets.
