Title: Sour Cherry Breeding and Production in Hungary
Authors: J. Apostol and A. Iezzoni
Abstract:
Clonal selection and breeding of sour cherry
{Prunus cerasus L.) began in Hungary in 1943
and 1950, respectively, at the Enterprise for
Extension and Research in Fruit Growing and
Ornamentals, Budapest.
In the last 25 years,
there has been a rapid expansion in production
and a doubling of the sour cherry acreage in
Hungary due to the introduction of new profit
able cultivars from their programs.
These new
cultivars and numbered selections ripen over a
40 day period.
The range in fruit weight, percent
soluble solids and juice color is from 4 to 8
grams, 14% to 20%, and light red to dark purple,
respectively.
