The Brooks variety was developed by the University of California. It is a large, firm red cherry that tolerates hot climates. The Brooks variety is sweet, rich and well balanced with a firmness close to that of the Bing. Brooks ripens ahead of Bing and is available in the early weeks of California cherry harvest which begins in mid-April.*

Unlike Bing cherries, Brooks cherries are sweet from the moment they have a light red color.
