Sylvia is a typical modern dessert cherry, producing good crops of large sweet dark red cherries. The cherries ripen the middle of the cherry season - usually July.
Sylvia has relatively closely-spaced buds, which means the foliage appears quite dense - this may help to reduce the likelihood of fruit splitting if there is a lot of rain in June and July.
Sylvia is a naturally small tree and grows with a columnar form, useful if space is limited. The mature tree is likely to be noticeably smaller than other cherry varieties on the same rootstock.
Sylvia is not self-fertile, and needs another compatible cherry tree nearby to pollinate it - try Stella, Sunburst, or Skeena.

Sylvia was developed by the famous Summerland research station in Canada, and released in 1988. It is a cross between two other sweet cherries, Van and Sam.
