Oregon's Willamette Valley sweet cherry growers have
developed a market for large, high quality, stem-on brining cherries.
The maturity indices pull force (PF), percent soluble solids (SS),
and weight (Wt) were chosen as being the most probable indicators of
maturity.
The rate of change of PF during the harvest period...
Success in mechanical harvesting of sweet cherries often depends as much on the way trees have been trained and pruned as on the harvest machinery used, crop load, or degree of fruit maturity.
Research was initiated to find a secondary bleach to remove brown discoloration on sulfur dioxide brined sweet cherries. In addition, studies were carried out to determine the effects on texture of not only the secondary bleaches, but also the primary bleach (sulfur dioxide). Three bleaches were found to remove the...

The location of prune dwarf virus (PDV) and Prunus
necrotic ringspot virus (PNRSV) in pollen and seed
from infected and healthy sweet cherry trees pollinated
with infected pollen was investigated. Virus-like
particles were observed in the cytoplasm of pollen
grains from PDV-infected cherry trees using transmission
electron microscopy. No particles...
