Santina Cherry Tree
Product Details
Santina cherry trees are a popular Canadian cultivar known for their early ripening and excellent flavor. This self-fertile variety produces bright red, firm cherries with a balanced sweet-tart taste, making it a favorite for fresh eating and preserves. Adding a Santina cherry tree to your orchard or garden means enjoying some of the earliest cherries of the season, giving you a tasty head start on cherry harvests. It’s a fantastic choice for growers who want reliable fruit.
MicroStarts' Santina cherry trees are grafted (ensuring true-to-type fruit), and ship in a Jumbo Ellepot.
Santina cherries are bright red, medium-sized, and firm with a crisp texture and a balanced sweet-tart flavor.
Our rootstock is propagated via tissue culture, a clonal process that results in true to type, disease-free plants. These trees have been grown in ellepots to promote healthy root development.
