Annual Cherry Fundraising
Best cherries
from Young
delivered to Canberra
in mid-December
We collect boxes of great cherries from Young and
deliver them to Canberra on the day after they are picked.
Normally they are Rons or Lapins cherries:
Rons cherries are a large heart‐shaped variety with black,
slightly thick skin and juicy deep red flesh. They are delicious
either eaten fresh or cooked.
Lapins cherries are a large heart‐shaped variety, with dark
red skin and firm, golden‐red flesh.
The actual cherry verities delivered will depend on which varieties have ripened in early December and that depends on the weather.
