evans cherry seedlings
evans cherry seedlings. at the orchard where I collected these, there was a little variation between the evans trees, so it's possible they were seedlings, if that's true then I would expect these to have comparable large cherries. there's all sorts of interesting breeding history in the sour cherries we can grow on the prairies, evans was a chance seedling discovered, it grows into a small tree, while the bush cherries from u of sask have a long breeding history with complex hybridization, I think starting with prunus fruiticosa, a small bushy cherry.
