The Kordia is a new black cherry variety which has quickly become popular with both commercial growers and gardeners on account of the large fruit size, glossy black skin and excellent flavour. Kordia cherries are also resistant to the splitting caused by summer rain, if you want a cherry that is very nice, this is the one to choose.

Growing tips and strengths:

• The fruits of Kordia are produced mid season, ready for eating, on average, in the second week of July.

• The picking period lasts a week.

• This variety reliably produces a large amount of fruit.
