Per The Cherries of New York: George Glass considered desirable in Middle West, but many in New York do not think highly of this variety. Of the Amarelle group but not of the same caliber as other varieties in the family (i.e. Early Richmond and Montmorencies). Its season is between Early Richmond and Montmorency. Compared to the standard Sour Cherry, fruit is smaller, sourer, less attractive in appearence and the trees are much less fruitful. Trees possibly more hardy. Origin uncertain, but possibly introduced into Iowa from northeastern Germany. Often confused with Brusseler Braune and Bessarabian. "Tree large, vigorous, upright-spreading, rather open, hardy, appears unproductive; trunk thick; branches thick, roughened, with numerous conspicuous, raised lenticels; leaves numerous, four inches long, two inches wide, obovate, thick, stiff, dark green; petiole three-fourths of an inch long, tinged with red, with a few hairs along the upper surface, with one or two small, globose, reddish-orange glands, usually at the base of the blade; buds intermediate in size and length; leaf-scars prominent; season of bloom intermediate; flowers one and one-fourth inches across; borne in dense clusters. Fruit matures in mid-season; three-fourths of an inch long, one inch wide, oblate, compressed; cavity deep; color light red changing to dark red; stem one and one-eighth inches long, adherent to the fruit; skin separating from the pulp; flesh yellowish-white; with abundant colorless juice, stringy, tender and melting, rather mild for a sour cherry; good to very good in quality; stone free, roundish or slightly oblate, plump, blunt, with smooth surfaces; ventral suture prominent." | 1743075 | PI 657735 |

Per Hedrick: "White Heart is mentioned in The Cherries of New York only because of its reputation in Europe and the frequent references, therefore, that American cherry-growers see to it in European publications. Bunyard and Thomas, in the reference given, speak of it as one of the best and most profitable cherries grown in the famous Kent cherry orchards. Early American horticulturists describe it but it seems not to have been widely grown in America and has probably long since passed from cultivation. It failed, according to Elliott, because it was a 'variable and uncertain bearer' and while an early cherry 'not early enough to compete with many new varieties.' [. . .] It seems to have been brought to America before the War of the Revolution and to have been grown in this country under the serveral different names which are given in the list of synonyms. The following description is compiled: Tree large, vigorous, somewhat erect, very healthy, rather productive; branches stocky, somwhat angular, with large, roundish, light colored lenticels; internodes of unequal length; leaves medium in size, oval or obovate, sharply pointed; margin finely serrate; petiole short, slender, tipped with two reuniform, orange-red glands; flowers medium in size; petals obovate. Fruit matures early in June; rather small, roundish-cordate, often one-sided, with a distinct suture; color whitish-yellow, tinged and speckled with pale red in the sun; stem long, slender, inserted in a wide, shallow cavity; skin firm; flesh light colored, firm, half-tender, breaking, juicy, sugary, pleasant; first quality; stone rather large, roundish-oval, with a pointed apex." | 1684587 | DPRU 2600 |

Per The Cherries of New York: George Glass considered desirable in Middle West, but many in New York do not think highly of this variety. Of the Amarelle group but not of the same caliber as other varieties in the family (i.e. Early Richmond and Montmorencies). Its season is between Early Richmond and Montmorency. Compared to the standard Sour Cherry, fruit is smaller, sourer, less attractive in appearence and the trees are much less fruitful. Trees possibly more hardy. Origin uncertain, but possibly introduced into Iowa from northeastern Germany. Often confused with Brusseler Braune and Bessarabian. "Tree large, vigorous, upright-spreading, rather open, hardy, appears unproductive; trunk thick; branches thick, roughened, with numerous conspicuous, raised lenticels; leaves numerous, four inches long, two inches wide, obovate, thick, stiff, dark green; petiole three-fourths of an inch long, tinged with red, with a few hairs along the upper surface, with one or two small, globose, reddish-orange glands, usually at the base of the blade; buds intermediate in size and length; leaf-scars prominent; season of bloom intermediate; flowers one and one-fourth inches across; borne in dense clusters. Fruit matures in mid-season; three-fourths of an inch long, one inch wide, oblate, compressed; cavity deep; color light red changing to dark red; stem one and one-eighth inches long, adherent to the fruit; skin separating from the pulp; flesh yellowish-white; with abundant colorless juice, stringy, tender and melting, rather mild for a sour cherry; good to very good in quality; stone free, roundish or slightly oblate, plump, blunt, with smooth surfaces; ventral suture prominent." | 1001997 | DPRU 66 |
