Rob,
I don’t know that I would recommend Evans/Bali for anyone
warmer than zone 5, but my experience is with ONE plant(and the multitude of
suckers it produces).
It originated and excels in the ‘frigid northland’ –
I’ve seen photos of it fruit in Alberta, Manitoba, etc., and it looks
great. But performance here in my orchard(you’ve seen it) has been even
less than disappointing.
I’ve been apologizing to friends & coworkers whom I’ve
shared suckers with for several years now, and recommending that those who
still have it, remove it and plant something else if they want decent fruit.
My $.02, FWIW.
Lucky

Does anyone have any idea how this Evans Cherry does in
the deep south?
Nanking cherry does well down here. I guess if luck is doing well with
this, it might be good to give it a try. He is about 2-3 zones colder and not
that far way from me.

A
few years ago Lucky sent me a couple of Evans sprouts, and the
slower one bloomed this year for the first time and has some fruit on
it. That tree has looked good ever since it was planted, and has made a
sucker that's almost as big as it is. The other one pined and
suffered from thread blight, it bloomed young but the #%&*! carpenter
ants would pick all the stigmas out, same as they did to my flowering quince
this year. (Yes, the one mild spring and that's when I find
out God's backup plan for making sure I don't get any quinces)
I cut the early blooming tree back to a stub but now that I know about
thread blight I am glad to let it come back out. Sprayed copper this
spring in hopes of stopping the stuff which was on an apple, a pear, a
plum... it likes everything. Anyway I am particularly pleased to
have the Evans cherry because I haven't seen morello cherries before.
The leaves are shinier than the amarelle I have, and they have an interesting
waxy feel to them. Donna
