New Sour Cherry Cultivar 'FE' from honeyberry USA

[krismoriah]

Some food for thought since this cherry resembles Evans/Bali DNA…for us growers south of Z4.

Question the history of a cherry or know some history?

I purchased and planted a tissue-cultured ‘Bali’(Evans) cherry from St. Lawrence Nursery back around 1996. Planted 20 ft from a Montmorency. They are very different… I do not believe they are the same species, nor do I believe that Evans is a seedling of Montmorency. While the photos I’ve seen posted by Konrad, and others in zone 4 and colder look fantastic… performance in zone 6 was pitiful. Evans is enough later than Montmorency that plum curculio &/or other insects hit the fruit hard long…
