Abstract:‘Jilin Red Cherry 1’, introduced from Canada known as‘Evens’cherry, is characterized with late maturity, strong cold hardiness, and high and stable yield. This sour cherry variety can be grown in areas where frost-free period is over 120 days. During the four years of trials in west-central and eastern regions of Jilin Province, this cherry did not show any signs ofwinter damage without coverage or pest development. The fruit of this cherry variety tastes sour sweet and is excellent for processing use. The production at four-year-old is 5 540 kg/hm2 , 14% higher than the local sour cherry, Kwanzan flowering cherry (Prunus serrulata).
