Evans Cherry, also known as Bali, is a prairie sour cherry associated with an old orchard near Edmonton and later popularized by Dr. Ieuan Evans. The parent tree produces bright red sour cherries with the tart flavour prized for pies, baking and preserves.
We expect the seedlings to be broadly similar to Evans, with natural differences in fruit, growth and ripening between individual trees.

How to stratify seed
Warm stage first. Keep the same bag at room temperature for the warm period shown, then move it to the fridge.
In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.
Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
