A dessert cherry grown in Thomas Andrew Knight's orchard and introduced in 1815 after the battle of Waterloo. It is also known in Herefordshire as Strawberry Amber. It is one of the oldest known varieties still available. The exceptionally high-quality fruit has dark red flesh, soft and juicy, with dark red skin. The cherries are medium sized and ripen mid season. Its compact habit makes it a popular garden tree which is early-middle flowering.
