Effect of the Climatic Conditions in Central Europe on the Growth and Yield of Cornelian Cherry Cultivars

Fruit of Cornelian cherry can be used fresh or processed, and cultivation practices are developing in this direction. Due to the rarity its cultivation, is harvested from natural sites occurrence. However, fruit lower quality than cultivars, as their seedlings differ terms ripening. The objective experiment was evaluation approximately a dozen cultivars growth yield under conditions Central Europe. effect climatic on onset date particular phenological stages also assessed. All analysed suitable commodity crops, but they should accurately selected depending direction production. first stage appearance inflorescences before development leaves. start phenophases depends temperature precipitation. cherries cultivated ecological show satisfactory size generally small percentage stone. Most have an elongated shape, shape factor decreases with grows along double sigmoid, intensive occurs following extinction shoot growth.
