Larian released in California in 1964 as a replacement for the Tartarian and Bing.  The fruit is larger, firmer, and of better flavor than Tartarian and more resistant to cracking than the Bing.  The cherries mature a week earlier than the Bing, but the tree produces a lighter crop than the Bing even though the Larian is larger in diameter.  The cherry is round , heart-shaped, smooth and symmetrical, the flesh is red to dark red, meaty, fine textured, and moderately juicy.
