Prunus avium 'Cavalier' is a hardy sweet cherry tree highly prized for its flavorful fruit, often mistakenly confused with a sour cherry. This variety produces dark red to black cherries that are firm, juicy, and very sweet, ideal for fresh consumption, desserts, or homemade preserves. Its rounded and well-balanced growth habit allows for beautiful integration into Quebec's home orchards or edible gardens, especially since it shows good disease resistance. Its white spring blossoms attract pollinators, but as it is self-sterile, it requires another compatible sweet cherry tree for optimal fruiting. This cultivar prefers full sun and well-drained soils, thus offering a generous yield under suitable conditions. 'Cavalier' is an excellent choice for those seeking a productive, hardy, and delicious variety.
