Default Router quarter round bit operation

Need to use the router for a quarter round on a cherry edge. Using 1/2 roundover bit on a 1/4 shank. Can I do this in one pass or do I need to make several passes?

Absolutely, cherry is relatively soft wood. You will however be less
likely to burn the cherry and have a smoother finish cut if you make 2~3
passes with the last pass being very shallow.
