Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. The cherry pit contains cyanogenic compounds and should never be chewed or given to pets - the ripe flesh is safe and delicious.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PlantsGram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45554295865479,"sku":"PG-FRUIT-CHERRY-SWEET-01-P1","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/9984\/7303\/files\/Sweet-Cherry-5.webp?v=1787755909","url":"https:\/\/plantsgram.com\/products\/sweet-cherry-grafted-fruit-plant","provider":"PlantsGram","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
