Abstract

Fruit characteristics of 20 sweet cherry cultivars were evaluated in Denmark. The early cultivars 'Karesova Rana,' 'Ranna Cherna Edra' and 'Merpet' had a good fruit size for their season, but the fruits were soft. 'Adriana' was outstanding for low cracking susceptibility. 'Kristin,' 'Oktavia' and 'Viola' are midseason cultivars with several good characteristics. The late cultivar 'Sunburst' was outstanding for good fruit size. 'Lapins' had an overall good quality. Of the white cherries 'Flamengo Srim' had the highest cracking resistance and it is suitable for mechanical harvest.
