Hello all,
In discussions with the University of Saskatchewan tart cherry breeders,
they have said that tart cherries from Hungary have sweet cherry in their
background. If true, this could explain how the Balaton & Danube have the
high sugar of the tart cherry and the low acid of the sweet cherry. It also
may explain why they are not rated as hardy as the standard Montmorency.
Dr. Amy Iezzoni of Michigan State University, would have better idea of what
their parentage and history, of course.
