Cherry variety Regina — this is a late-ripening German variety, distinguished by large, dark-red heart-shaped fruits weighing 12 to 15 grams and about 30 mm in diameter. The fruits have dense, juicy, and very sweet flesh with a slight acidity, and the skin is thin but strong and shiny. The stone is large and round. Due to its high marketability, the fruits do not crack from rain and can remain on the tree until early August, making this variety especially attractive for long-term storage and transportation.
Trees of the Regina variety have vigorous or medium growth with a pyramidal, compact crown. The variety is self-sterile, so for successful pollination, it is recommended to plant other varieties nearby, such as Lyapinzi, Stoccatto, Van, Burlat, or Summit. Cherry Regina is characterized by good winter hardiness and heat tolerance, but for optimal development, it requires fertile, well-drained soils and sunny locations. During hot days, watering is necessary, and for protection against winter frosts, it is beneficial to fertilize the plant with potassium mineral fertilizers.
Regina variety is widely used both fresh and for industrial processing: freezing, jam-making, and beverage production. The late ripening period — mid-July — allows harvest at the end of summer, which distinguishes this variety from others. Its excellent taste, storability, and disease resistance make Regina a popular choice for gardeners and commercial producers.
