This cherry is produced through cross-pollination between Tragana ofi Edhessa and Napoleon trees. These trees have been traditionally cultivated in the village of Rodochori in Kozani prefecture since the 1950s. These cherries would not be as tasty as they are if not for the great weather, soil conditions, and local know-how. Kerassia Tragana Rodochorio cherries are harvested by hand in early summer.
