The Valentine Cherry features showy clusters of white flowers along the branches in mid spring. It has green foliage throughout the season. The glossy oval leaves turn yellow in fall. The dark red fruits are held in abundance in spectacular clusters in mid summer, which are excellent for cooking, baking and making jams and jellies. This is a self-pollinating variety, so it doesn't require a second plant nearby to set fruit. The smooth gray bark is not particularly outstanding.
Taste this cherry in Mr. V's demonstration orchard.
