The Carmen cherry is a variety of cherry that was bred by Brózik Sándor and Apostol János in Budapest-Érd, Hungary. It was first introduced in 1999 as a product of the Hungarian variety improvement program. Its parents are Sarga Dragan and H203 (1999).[1]
Characteristics
Carmen cherry is known for its large size and round shape, with some sources indicating that the fruit can reach diameters of 30-35 mm and weigh between 13 and 18 grams.[1] The fruit is round in shape and has a bright dark red color. It is sweet with balanced acidity.[2]
In 2021, a Carmen cherry grown by Italian farmers Alberto and Giuseppe Rosso in Pecetto Torinese, near Turin, in Piedmont, set a new world record for the largest cherry, weighing in at 33.05 g (1.16 oz).[3] The Rosso family has a long history of growing cherries, spanning over a century.[citation needed]
