FamilyRosaceae

TypeFruit tree

Botanical namePrunus × kerrasis ‘Valentine’

Prunus cerasus 'Valentine' is a hardy and vigorous sour cherry tree, particularly well-suited to Quebec's conditions where it offers a generous production of dark red, tart cherries, perfect for pies, jams, jellies, juices, and fresh consumption for those who enjoy this fruity profile. This cultivar is characterized by abundant white blossoms in spring, followed by bright green foliage that turns yellow in autumn, adding ornamental interest to the garden. Its bushy and moderate habit makes it easy to integrate into family orchards, fruiting hedges, or spacious gardens while offering a regular and reliable harvest. Self-fertile, it nevertheless benefits from being planted with a compatible cherry tree to further stimulate pollination.
