The 'Sapphire' cherry variety, developed by Ukrainian breeders, is characterized by high yield and resistance to winter conditions and diseases. Fruit ripens at the end of June, allowing for an early harvest. The tree has moderate growth vigor, forming a broad-pyramidal crown in its youth, which becomes rounded and slightly dense during full fruiting. Main fruiting occurs on cluster branches and last year's growth.
The 'Sapphire' variety's fruits are large, weighing about 10 grams, dark red in color with a elongated-heart shape. The flesh is red, juicy, and sufficiently firm, ensuring good transportability of the berries. The taste of the fruits is of high quality, making them suitable for both fresh consumption and industrial processing.
This cherry variety is suitable for both private gardeners and industrial plantations due to its resistance and stable yield. The versatility of the fruits allows their use in various culinary applications, including canning, freezing, and dessert preparation.
