Past releases include ‘Stella’, ‘Sumpaca Celeste’, ‘Sumnue Cristalina’, ‘Sumste Samba’, ‘Sandra Rose’, Sumleta Sonata’, ‘Stardust’, ‘Lapins’, ‘Skeena’, ‘Sweetheart’, and ‘Staccato’. Releases span the cherry ripening season from 8 days before to about 27 after ‘Van’. All but ‘Cristalina’ and ‘Samba’ are self-fertile. | |
