Mid-season indeterminate cherry variety. The fruits are round-to-oval, glowing golden-yellow with pink marbling – just wonderfully cheerful, bright colors. Weighs around 0.75-1 oz (20-25 g). Sweet and delicious.
\nThe skin is on the tender side, so they tend to split in whole-pack hot-water canning jars.
\nGrew mine inside the greenhouse. It’s a tall vine and very low-maintenance. Started ripening early, and it was among the very last plants I cleared out of the greenhouse in late autumn.

Loved this one for both flavor and beauty. Definitely repeating it this season. Seeds were a gift from Sweta 777 – huge thanks to her!

Sunrise Bumble Bee. Outstanding cherry variety, easily one of my favorites this season! \ud83d\udc4d
\nIndeterminate, completely unfussy. Grew mine out in the open garden patch. Strong, robust vine that took every punch the weather threw at it and kept producing over an extended window.
\nAfter the first flower truss set, I pretty much stopped pruning suckers and let it branch out. The fruits are almost cocktail size, up to 1 oz (25 g). Gorgeous, bright, striped, sweet, and genuinely delicious! \ud83d\ude0b
