Aztec Fuji®
(DT 2 cv.) The next generation of Red Fujis, this new sport is considered by many to be the reddest blush Fuji sport on the market. Aztec Fuji® consistently colors to a full red color.

Early Robin®
This is a new Rainier-type sweet cherry variety that matures seven to nine days ahead of Rainier and is somewhat crack resistant. The fruit’s appearance is similar to Rainier and flavor is mild. Early Robin® requires cross pollination and is not compatible with either Van or Regina™. This cherry variety is not recommended for planting in colder or frost-prone areas.

The fruit is dark purple with a mild, sweet flavor. It is considered self-fruitful. Glory™ is juicier than many other late-season varieties. It’s another of Van Well Nursery’s “Faces of the Future.” USPP 22694

The flavor is sweet with a slight tartness at the skin. The tree produces firm-fleshed fruits that are similar in size to Shiro. Van Well Nursery is proud to offer this selection from its INN partner, Stargrow.
