The Horticultural Department of the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station is introducing the new Corum sweet cherry variety for Oregon and other areas, where there is a need for a superior sweet cherry which will ripen five to seven days before Royal Ann (Napoleon Bigarreau), and which will also function as a pollinizer variety. Corum, a chance seedling on the farm of Gordon Corum, Eugene, Oregon, was discovered in 1945. It was selected because of its excellent appearance, large size, fine quality, and firm-fleshed fruit. It ripens about a week before Royal Ann, with the varieties Sue, Venus and Victor.
