Cashmere™ is an early-season, export-quality, dark red sweet cherry. Similar to Bing in appearance, the fruit is medium-to-large in size, with a mahogany red skin and dark red flesh. It ripens 8 to 11 days before Bing, has good firmness, and excellent flavor. It is more susceptible to rain-induced cracking than Bing.

     Cashmere™ produces a tree that is very spreading and has much better branching angles than Bing. Its productivity is very good, as is its cold hardiness. Cashmere™ begins blooming several days after Bing, a valuable trait to reduce the potential for spring frost damage. It is self-fertile and thus can pollinate other cultivars with similar bloom times. The chilling requirement of Cashmere™ is not yet known, but is presumed to be similar to that of Bing. The susceptibility to heat-induced double/spur fruit is not known

     Production and compatibility of Cashmere™ on rootstocks other than Mazzard is unknown at this time.
