An even better tart Cherry, Balaton™ takes the vigor and fruitfulness of Montmorency even further with firmer fruit, a little more sweetness to go with the tart taste and better disease resistance in your home orchard. This selection is an import from Hungary and one that you will soon appreciate as you are picking buckets of red skinned, red fleshed Cherries just a couple of days later than Montmorency. Like all tart Cherries, Balaton™ is self-fruitful needing only itself to produce a bumper crop of fruit and, like all other of this Cherry type, its fruit is incredibly versatile as it can be eaten right off the tree, cooked to make the perfect Cherry pie, dried to make an outstanding taste filled snack or even squeezed to make a juice you and your family will love!
