The basis for the creation of new and improvement of existing cultivars is the gene pool collection of sweet cherries of the Nikitsky Botanical Gardens (NBG) , represented by more than 400 samples of various origins. The article presents the brief results of a comprehensive study of introduced cultivars and cultivars of our own breeding in the steppe zone of the Crimea. The analysis of the gene pool on the general assessment of varietal composition on such features as the timing of phenological
