Unconditional Satisfaction GuaranteeNo Shipping Fees Above 302 Months to Decide. Returns Simplified.Also known as ‘Velvet Red’ due to the traditional fuzzy finish to the fruit, this heirloom cherry was preserved in the Diggers Seed Vault and was added to our range in 2023. Bred by Joe Bratka in New Jersey, USA in 1996, we were given seed by Seed Savers in the US and this variety has proven itself to be tasty, hardy and reliable, winning the 2023 taste test and cropping well in an otherwise difficult growing season. Diggers seed has been saved from a smooth-skinned plant, but please be aware that some fuzzy fruits may develop as is true to the variety. If this occurs, simply rub to remove the fine hairs, which often act as a deterrent to pests and other predators.
