General Fruit Growing
#1

I see that in America, good cherry trees are obtained , but you in this forum don’t have much knowledge about them.
The Californian company IFG, very famous for obtaining excellent varieties of seedless grapes (I have many of its varieties of this type of grapes in my orchard) has developed a cherry improvement program, the objectives of which are these.

Cherries Goals & Objectives

• Low Chill - 150 to 400 Hours
• Reduced Doubling
• Reduced Cracking
• Earlier Ripening
• Firm Flesh, High Quality
• Large Fruit Size
• Dark and Blush Types
• Good Handling Ability
• Self Fertile
• Stem-less

This spring I will graft at least two of its varieties.

  • Cheery Grand

  • Cheery Treat

HI Rahul1.
My region has a very low level of humidity throughout the year.
This offers me two advantages.

  • Very low incidence of fungal diseases
  • I have no cracking problems in cherries

But this does not mean that I have less interest towards varieties of cherries resistant to cracking, since in the cultivation of cherries, this parameter is very important.

Hi fruitgrower, I have seen your “like”.
You liked these two varieties of cherries hahahaha.
For California they are incredibly good.
We will talk privately, you and me.

Jose
