Prunus avium 'GIORGIA' sweet cherry - early
Symbivit Tric (arbuscular)
Symbivit (arbuscular)Giorgia is an early sweet cherry variety from Verona in Italy where it was bred by Giorgio Bargioni. It produces about 3 cm wide cherries of 7-9 g from approximately last week June (depending on weather). They are crispy and juicy, sweet with a hint of acidity balancing the flavour. The skin is glossy and deep red when fully mature. Giorgia cherries are moderately resistant to rain-induced splitting. It is not self-fertile and needs another cherry tree in the area of about 1 km flowering at the same time such as Van, Burla, Kordia, Sunburst, B�ttner’s Rote.

It grows fast into an upright tree. Cherry trees like slightly acidic, humus rich, well drained but moist soil. When the fruit is formed some extra watering is a help in dry seasons. Cherries, just like most other stone-fruit trees, dislike regular pruning. If needed, they can be rejuvenated every 5 years or so by pruning immediately after flowering. Fully hardy to min. -29 �C.
