If you are looking for the ultimate "super-sized" sweet cherry, the Utah Giant Cherry is the unrivaled champion. Developed at Utah State University, this variety produces fruit that is significantly larger and firmer than the famous Bing cherry. Each dark, mahogany-red cherry is packed with an intense, sugary-sweet flavor that makes it a favorite for fresh snacking, canning, and gourmet desserts. Beyond its incredible fruit, the Utah Giant is a stunning ornamental addition to your yard; in early spring, the tree is completely transformed by a breathtaking canopy of fragrant, snowy-white blossoms.
The Utah Giant is prized for its resilience and ability to maintain its firm texture even during rainy spells, resisting the "cracking" that plagues many other cherry varieties. While it requires a pollination partner—such as Rainier or Bing—the resulting harvest is exceptionally heavy and reliable. Its upright, spreading habit provides lush green foliage throughout the summer, making it as beautiful as it is productive. Add a Utah Giant to your garden and experience the pinnacle of homegrown fruit.
