Vernon Sweet Cherry Scionwood
History:Â Vernon was developed at the Horticultural Experiment Station at Vineland, ON. It is an open-pollinated seedling of Windsor that was selected in 1925 and released in 1937. Like the other Vineland selections, its name starts with a 'v' to honour its origins. While it was grown commercially for some time, it has since faded out of commercial orchards as it became eclipsed by newer, better varieties.
Why We Grow It:Â Vernon produces a large, dark-fleshed cherry that is similar to its parent but is generally larger, firmer, and of better quality. It is unfortunately more prone to cracking than Windsor.
