Tart Cherry - Big Red

This is one of 7 cherries the University of Saskatchewan has released in 2022 for their 100 anniversary of horticulture.

Fruit is vivid red, high yielding, twice as large of fruit size as Carmine Jewel. Bob Bors recalls Big Red’ had unusually LARGE red cherry that was 50% longer than wide with small lobes on the bottom. It looked like a miniature red delicious apple. I’d never seen any cherry that looked like that. It tasted good, didn’t seem to have winterkill. Currently being marketed in the USA as Wowza.
