Product Overview
The Evans Cherry cultivar grows from 12 to 14 feet – other sour cherries are taller – with abundant white blossoms in spring, bright red fruit at an average weight of 0.15 ounces, and juice that is pink-tinted to clear. The tree can be grown on its own root stock so there are no grafting problems; an advantage, since with grafting there can be incompatibility between the top or shoot and the grafted root stock, or a poor graft union can cause a trunk to split later on as the tree grows larger. Best trained as a tree rather than bush to make harvest of fruit easiest, the Evans Cherry is a self-fruitful, zone 3a cherry with a ripening season in North America in August.
