Title: Cracking Resistance in Certain Cherry Cultivars and Selections
Authors: J. King and R.A. Norton

Abstract:
A major problem in trying to grow
good quality sweet cherries in regions
where cool, damp summers are the
rule (such as the Puget Sound region)
is cracking of the fruits just before
harvest.
Cracking, caused by absorption of water through the skin of the
ripening cherry, can damage some or
even most of the fruits and allow the
entry of fungus rots.
Cracking and rot
in combination can destroy the entire
crop, given unfavorable weather conditions and a susceptible variety.
