Balaton trees are in the two rows on the left and Montmorency trees are in the two rows on the right. In the case of the fruit collected at CHES, the probe measurements used in the calculation were taken at the processing plant. Yield comparisons for Montmorency and Balaton in pounds at CHES and the NW Station for 1999 and 2000 z . 47.45 Disease Management Balaton appears to be slightly less susceptible to defoliation due to cherry leaf spot than Montmorency, but it is still susceptible enough to require a good fungicide program. It shows similar resistance as Montmorency to European brown rot.
