The Prunus avium 'Van' is a sweet cherry cultivar that has been recognized with the RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM), signifying its excellence and suitability for garden cultivation. It is also included in the RHS Plants for Pollinators list, indicating its value in providing nectar and pollen for bees and various pollinating insects.

Here are some key characteristics and details about the 'Van' cherry:

Cultivation: 'Van' is known for heavy cropping, producing abundant white blossoms in spring followed by dark red fruit that turns almost black when fully ripe. It's particularly suitable for northern regions.

Cropping Season: The cherries ripen in July, making it a mid-summer crop.

Description: This variety yields very firm and large, true black cherries. The eating quality is excellent, especially when consumed straight from the tree. The cherries can also be utilized in cooking, for pies, and even for making liqueurs.

History: 'Van' was bred in Canada in 1944 and has since been used in breeding programs for modern self-fertile cherry varieties.

Pollination Group: 'Van' belongs to pollination group 3, indicating its compatibility with other cherry varieties for cross-pollination to set fruit.

Pollination Partners: For optimal fruiting, 'Van' can be pollinated by various other cherry cultivars, including Cherry Celeste, Cherry Lapins, Cherokee Cherry, Morello Cherry, Skeena Cherry, Stella Cherry, Sunburst Cherry, Sweetheart Cherry, and Waterloo Cherry.

Overall, 'Van' is recognized for its productivity, delicious fruit, and its role in supporting pollinators, making it a valuable addition to gardens, especially in areas conducive to its growth.
