Introduction to Wangcheng Cherry

Cherries belong to the Rosaceae family of deciduous trees and fruit trees. Don't confuse cherries with cherry blossoms, friends. Cherry, when ripe, has a bright red color, delicate and translucent texture, delicious taste, delicate shape, rich nutrition, high medical and health value, and is also known as "peach". The cherries cultivated as fruit trees in China include Chinese cherries, sweet cherries, sour cherries, and hairy cherries. Cherries mature early and have the reputation of being the first fruit in early spring, known as the "first branch of a hundred fruits". It is said that the oriole has a special preference for pecking at this fruit, hence the name "Yingtao"

China's cherry production is 35 million kg, with an average of only 29g per person, which is equivalent to 3 large cherries per person or 15-17 Chinese cherries per person. It can be seen that cherries have broad market prospects. The sweet cherry varieties cultivated in China are mainly European and American varieties, which perform well in northern China. However, European sweet cherries generally require a low temperature of 7.2 ° C or below for 900-1400 hours to complete winter dormancy, which limits their large-scale cultivation in southern China. Therefore, in northern provinces and regions of China, Chinese cherries are still the main cultivated variety. At the same time, there are very few excellent varieties of Chinese cherries, and the cultivated varieties generally exhibit many disadvantages such as small fruit size, sour taste, pre harvest cracking, and fruit drop. The breeding of the excellent Chinese cherry variety, Black Pearl, successfully compensated for these shortcomings
