I'm hoping to find a dark cherry that's Sungold-size and I grew seeds for Black Cherry that were given to me by 2 fine Tomatovillians because they produce smaller-than-normal Black Cherry fruits for them in their gardens. Well, in mine they each grew fruits that are larger than the fruits of the Black Cherry plants that I grew before but maybe that's because I was more ruthless with my pruning this year.

The vigorous plants are identical and the fruits of one are slightly smaller than the other- 0.8-1.0 oz. vs. 0.9-1.2 oz. Fruit set for both has been heavy all season and neither plant has any sign of disease. It's easy to see why so many love this cherry.

Pictures include Sungold F1 for size comparison.
