Although tested by European scientists and accepted by many European growers, these cultivars have not undergone evaluation under climatic and market conditions prevalent in the United States. Scientists in this program will be able to evaluate these cherries under local conditions and determine which, if any, are likely to perform well under our growing conditions. In the near future, these and other cultivars will be evaluated in Oregon, Washington, Michigan, and Canada. Bloom time observed at Summerland, B.C., research station. Wind damage can be a problem in early years.
Trees show some cold sensitivity.
Fruit quality may be detrimentally affected in hot sites. References Apostol, J. and S. Brozik.
