In Dec. 1990, sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) selections varied in floral bud kill from 9% to 92% following exposure to severe cold. In the following winter, the hardiness of two hardy and two tender selections was analyzed by differential thermal analysis (DTA) to screen selections for hardiness. In a mild winter, when buds remained at their minimum hardiness level, the hardy selections consist...

Cline, J. A. and Trought, M. 2007. Effect of gibberellic acid on fruit cracking and quality of Bing and Sam sweet cherries. Can. J. Plant Sci. 87: 545–550. Rain-induced cracking of sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) is a major problem in many cherry growing regions throughout the world. One method to reduce cracking is to grow cracking resistant cultivars; however, no completely effective control...

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) fruits are characterised by a short shelf life. To extend the life, pre-storage hydrocooling is carried out to reduce their temperature before storing them in cold storage. During 2015 and 2016, treatment on of two sweet cultivars, 'Kordia' 'Regina', from orchards locality Trebinje, was performed. Samples both cultivars were subjected an automatic system at 0.9 ºC...
