BURLAT is a fairly fast-growing sweet cherry with a semi-open crown of 6-8 m in height. At a young age, the crown grows strongly and quite steeply upwards. Later, it is broadly ovoid and slightly jagged in shape. The tree flowers in March with white blossom and is not self-pollinating. Another cherry variety is therefore needed to guarantee that BURLAT bears fruit. Preferably, 'Bigarreau Napoléon', 'Early Rivers' or 'Varik Black' are used for this purpose. BURLAT cherries are ready for picking very early in the season. From late May to mid-June, the large, glossy dark red cherries can be harvested. The flesh is yellow, juicy and pleasantly sweet. The cherries are very suitable for both direct consumption and (industrial) processing.
BURLAT was found in 1930 by French fruit grower L. Burlat in the southern French town of Pierre Benite. Hardiness zone 6.
