The Abouriou cherry tree, also known as the Hâtive de Bâle, is an old variety of guigne native to the Lot-et-Garonne in the north of Agenais. This early cherry is one of the treasures of the fruit heritage of Aquitaine and is distinguished by its rapid production and exceptional flavour.
The Abouriou cherry tree develops a tree of good vigour with a semi-erect habit. The fruits, which are small in size, generally appear in bunches. The cherry is characterized by a long tail and an interesting color evolution: at first light red, it becomes blackish when fully ripe.
Its flesh is red, particularly juicy and very sweet, offering an excellent quality tasting. This variety belongs to the guignes (soft-fleshed sweet cherries) family, making it ideal for fresh consumption.
The Abouriou cherry tree is distinguished by its early flowering and early fruiting, which makes it one of the first varieties to produce fruit in the season. This tree is well adapted to the climates of the South-West of France, its region of origin.
For optimal development, plant your cherry tree in well-drained, sunny soil. Like all cherry trees, it does not like soil that is too wet, which can lead to the asphyxiation of the root system. To ensure good pollination and therefore abundant production, it is recommended to combine it with the Burlat cherry or other early-flowering varieties.
The Abouriou cherry is versatile in the kitchen. Its sweet and juicy flesh makes it a delicious fruit to enjoy plain, but it is also perfect for desserts, jams and pastries. Its precocity will allow you to enjoy the first cherries of the season at the beginning of summer.
The Abouriou cherry tree is one of the old varieties preserved by the Regional Plant Conservatory of Aquitaine. By choosing to plant this heirloom variety, you are contributing to the preservation of fruit biodiversity and the safeguarding of the traditional flavours of our terroirs.
