This variety is characterized by an early maturation period — fruits ripen in early June, during the third week of the cherry season. Euphoria possesses good winter hardiness and resistance to late frosts, allowing for successful cultivation in various climatic conditions. Additionally, the variety is resistant to cocklebor disease, ensuring protection of fruits from common ailments.
'Euphoria' cherry fruits are large, weighing about 9-12 grams, with a broadly-round shape and an attractive red coloration, where the base color is red and the overlay is dark red. The flesh is red, of medium density, juicy and slightly firm, with red juice. The fruit flavor is harmonious, sweet-sour, making them versatile for fresh consumption and various culinary purposes. The pit is of medium size, round and smooth, separating easily from the flesh. The fruits contain about 12 mg of Vitamin C per 100 grams.
The variety is partially self-fertile, with a self-pollination level up to 14%, which contributes to stable fruiting. Fruit-bearing begins in the fourth year after planting, and the yield increases each year. A long average pedicel ensures easy separation of fruits from branches, facilitating harvest collection. Due to its characteristics and resistance, 'Euphoria' cherry is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking an early and quality harvest of tasty and beneficial berries.
