</br></br> <strong>CHELAN</strong> </br> New sweet cherry from the Research and Extension Center in Prosser, WA.

Bears early and an excellent pollinizer. Same pollination attributes as Van. May be picked stemless. </br></br> <strong>INDEX</strong> (U. S. Plant Patent No. 10459)</br> Large, dark red cherry with a glossy appearance similar to Bing. May color slowly. Self-fertile, blooms early and crops well. Good pollinizer for Chelan.</br> <A HREF="top_prossercherry.htm">Click Here for more information.</A> </br></br> <strong>BLACK TARTARIAN</strong></br> Fruit is of medium size, purplish black, and juicy.

One of the best shipping and fresh market varieties in the U.S. </br></br> <strong>BENTON®</strong> (U.S. Plant Patent No. 15847)</br> Self-fertile cherry with size similar to Bing. Later blooming than Bing. Excellent flavor with good aftertaste.</br> <A HREF="top_prossercherry.htm">Click Here for more information.</A> </br></br> <strong>ULSTER</strong></br> Flesh is dark and of high quality. Fruit is large, dark red, and firm. Will not pollinize Royal Ann, Bing, Emperor Francis or Lambert. </br></br> <strong>RAINIER</strong></br> Very attractive yellow cherry with a red blush similar to Royal Ann. Fruit sizes well even with a full set, and a distinct flavor superior to most varieties. </br></br> <strong>EMPEROR FRANCIS</strong></br> A large, high quality white cherry with red blush. Very productive. Will not pollinate Ulster, Royal Ann, Bing or Lambert. </br></br> <strong>BLACK REPUBLICAN</strong></br> Fruit medium size, good quality and distinct flavor, very dark red turning black when fully ripe. An excellent pollenizer with other sweet cherries. </br></br> <strong>VAN</strong></br> Fruit resembles Bing and of acceptable size and quality to make it a profitable commercial variety. An excellent pollinator. Very hardy and a heavy annual bearer. </br></br> <strong>SELAH"! </strong>(U.S. Plant Patent Applied For)</br> Self-fertile dark red cherry which is very large. Blooms with Bing and has excellent flavor.</br> <A HREF="top_prossercherry.htm">Click Here for more information.</A> </br></br> <strong>LAPINS</strong></br> Large, highly split-resistant, self-fertile Lambert type. Gaining widespread popularity in Canada and the U.S. Commercial testing to date has been promising. An excellent pollinator. </br></br> <strong>GOLD</strong></br> A very productive clear yellow cherry, which is extremely hardy. Excellent pollinator. Small, firm-fleshed fruit of excellent quality used for Maraschino processing. </br></br> <strong>SCHNEIDER</strong></br> A large and firm cherry that resists cracking and bruising. It ripens late in the season. A very good pollinator for late sweet cherries such as Attika®. </br></br> <strong>ATTIKA®</strong></br> Attractive, large black cherry originating in Czechoslovakia. Blooms late and is good for the fresh market. The tree bears good quality fruit with juicy, dark red flesh. The fruit is very firm and has a long stem. Sub licensed through Van Well Nursery. </br></br> <strong>SKEENA </strong>(U. S. Plant Patent No. 11392)</br> A large (9 row) cherry which is firm and self-fertile. Dark red to black skin and flesh, a very good cropper and reated very high in taste panels. Holds up well in storage. </br></br> <strong>REGINA </strong>(U. S. Plant Patent Applied For)</br> Major new commercial dark red variety. Late blooming and late ripening. Large cherry. Will not cross pollinate with Van. </br></br> <strong>SWEETHEART </strong>(U.S. Plant Patent Applied For)</br> A very late bright red cherry that remains "crunchy" when picked and eaten. To achieve good fruit size, pruning is essential or overcropping might create a size problem. Self-fertile. </br></br> <h2>Pie Cherries</h2></br> <strong>MONTMORENCY</strong></br> The leading sour cherry for commercial canneries. Medium size, dark red, good quality and flavor. Clear, yellow flesh inside. One of the most popular sour cherries grown. Self-fertile. </br></br> <strong>BALATON</strong>"!</br> Produces fruit which is significantly larger and firmer than Montmorency. Vigorous tree. Should be trained like a sweet cherry tree. <h2>Cherry Rootstocks</h2></br> <strong>MAZZARD</strong></br> Mazzard is the most popular cherry rootstock grown in North America. Its fibrous root system makes Mazzard a good choice for wet and heavy soils. Produces what is considered a "full size tree" for cherry trees, usually 18 to 20 feet tall. </br></br> <strong>MAHALEB</strong></br> Performs well in deep soils with good drainage. Very cold-hardy and precocious, as well as deep-rooted. This rootstock produces a tree roughly 70% of Mazzard in size. Not recommended for heavy soils or areas with poor drainage or high water tables. </br></br> <strong>COLT</strong></br> Produces a Mahaleb-size tree with Mazzard characteristics. Early cropping and uniform tree growth are two of its most outstanding qualities. Shows resistance to bacterial canker, crown gall, and cherry replant disease. </br></br> <h2>Gisela® Understocks</h2></br> The following understocks are part of the Giessen Series from Germany. Information presented here is the result of limited testing in the U.S. We recommend using them for trial plantings at this time. </br></br> <strong>GISELA® 5</strong> (U.S. Plant Patent No. 9622)</br> Produces a tree roughly 65% of Mazzard. Needs support. Quite virus-tolerant. Does well in heavy soils. Some suckering may occur. </br></br> <strong>GISELA® 6 </strong>(U.S. Plant Patent No. 8954)</br> This rootstock produces a tree about 80% of Mazzard, but induces cropping much sooner than Mazzard. Varieties budded onto Gisela® 6 do not crop in clusters the way Gisela® 5 may, thus fruit size might be larger. </br></br> <strong>GISELA® 12</strong> (U.S. Plant Patent No. 9631)</br> This rootstock produces a tree about 100% of Mazzard. Very precocious and productive. It has good virus resistance and no suckering problems. Well anchored, but support is recommended. </br></br> <h2>MxM® Understocks</h2></br> <strong>MxM® 60</strong></br> Clonal cross of Mahaleb and Mazzard. A vigorous tree about the same size as Mazzard, but more productive and produces no root suckers. It is moderately tolerant to Root Rot and adapts to a wide range of soils. </br></br> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </TD> <TD valign=top background="images/greenbg.gif"> <IMG SRC="images/other_long_right_05.gif" WIDTH=19 HEIGHT=1034 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=3> <IMG SRC="images/other_long_right_06.gif" WIDTH=497 HEIGHT=19 ALT=""></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> <TD ROWSPAN=2> <IMG SRC="images/other_long_04.gif" WIDTH=18 HEIGHT=1092 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/other_long_05.gif" WIDTH=272 HEIGHT=1 ALT=""></TD> </TR> </TABLE> <!-- End ImageReady Slices --> </BODY> </HTML>
