Abstract

Many breeding programs throughout the world have the objective of developing compact sweet cherry varieties. The advantages of them are precosity, efficiency of picking, smaller size than standards and a thick canopy of leaves which shields the fruit from sun and rain. Several compact varieties are being tested commercially and may soon be widely grown. This article describes the origin and growth habit of a number of compact varieties and selections.
