Sweetheart (Prunus avium 'Sweetheart') is a result of the cross of cherry varieties Van x Newstar. First introduced in Canada in 1990. A heavy cropping variety, the cherries have an excellent flavour. One of the later picking varieties but well worth the wait as fewer cherries are available in the shops at this time. Ripens unevenly to spread the season. A good pollinator.
