There are no palatable cherries in the deep South of the U.S. Sweet ( Prunus avium), sour ( P. cerasus) and duke (hybrids) cherries are grown in more northern U.S. climates because they have high winter chilling requirements. Many cherry cultivars and their seedlings have been planted in the South and tropical highland areas but none have been grown with success as they lack genes for low chilling (1, 2, 3).
