evan's cherry dying
Comments (4)Konrad: That will work in Canada as I heard Evans is grown from softwood cuttings and produces root suckers that are thus true to variety. Here in the U.S. for any readers of this post, I am told that many nursery propagators are budding Evans onto some sort of rootstock. Not so in Canada as the own root Evans are a zone 3 plant but the budded Evans are zone 4 at most. A friend of mine has a cherry here in the U.S. that is similar to Evans in the fact that it bears heavy crops even when 3' tall, produces root suckers that make it easy to propagate and is from zone 4. Bailey Nursery in Minnesota worked out propagation rights and will have it out bare-root and container in the near future. This cherry is called 'Eubank' after the Eubank family who discovered it in their family orchard near River Falls, WI. I mention it as the only 2 tart cherries I know of that root sucker true to form are these two varieties. I do not know if Bailey Nursery is going to bud them on some rootstock or produce them from softwood cuttings....See MoreEvans Cherry root stock
Comments (5)Thank you all! This is the 3rd. season after the graft onto Evans about 6 inches off the ground. It was a new sucker from the old tree near the trunk. The new shoot I bent down about 10 to 20 inch from the ground, you can weigh it down a bit more come winter and bring it up in the growing season. I haven't pruned it yet..we'll see what's doing next year, with good snow cover it should have a larger crop, this way I think it will be more predictable then heaving the tree grow up and expose it to the element of harsh winter. No hardy sweet cherries yet for zone 3 or colder, I'm still testing some from Europe....See MoreEvans Cherry
Comments (17)I have a five year old Evans cherry. It has grown very well, but never produced ripe fruit. The last two years, it set lots of fruit, but when the cherries were still green, nearly all of them dropped off. This happened in June both years. I thought that the tree might need better nutrients, so I dug up all the grass around it last year, topped it with fresh soil, and mulched it. However, that didn't stop the cherry drop this year again. The tree is in a sheltered location in my back yard in town. It gets a lot of sun, but not full sun. The soil is heavy clay. Does anyone have suggestions?...See MoreEvans cherry tree doesn't grow?
Comments (17)From what I have been reading about Evans cherry and my experience with one plant over 10 years till I killed it. If they like the conditions that they are in, they are very good. If not, they are very frustrating plants. Mine would grow very well during the season then next spring would sporadically die back....See MoreKonrad___far_north
