Grindstone Creek Nursery

Potted Tehranivee™ Sweet Cherry

Potted Tehranivee™ Sweet Cherry

Available only for pick-up at nursery.

History: Tehranivee™ was bred by Dr. Ghassem Tehrani at the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre and released in 1969. It is a cross between Stella and Van, both popular commercial varieties. Its sister, Vandalay, was created from the same breeding program with the same parentage and released at the same time. Sticking with the 'v' naming convention for Vineland varieties, Tehranivee™ was named after its creator with a 'vee' added to the end of his last name. 

Why We Grow It: Tehranivee™ produces good quality cherries that are dark red in colour. The tree is also quite productive, producing a large number of excellent sweet cherries.
