Please help to find a tart cherry tree: Danube or balaton in Vancouver BC or close. I contacted several nurseries and they only have montmorency or sweet cherries. Maybe alternatively anynother tart cherry that can be grown in Vancouver and is large, dark red, juicy. Thanks everyone.
You are familiar with 'Montmorency', and don't want it? • Surefire (morello)—Ripe early to mid July. Recent introduction from the Geneva, NY, cherry program. Trees begin bearing at a very young age and are very productive. Bright red fruit is medium size and quite tart. • Montmorency (standard, amorelle)—Ripe mid July. Classic pie cherry known in America for more than a century. Reliably productive. • Balaton and Danube are morello type cherries developed in Hungary that have recently been introduced in the U.S., they appear rather promising and worthy of trial http://cru.cahe.wsu.edu/CEPublications/eb0937/eb0937.pdf
Morello is a type, not an individual cultivar. See use of term in above excerpt, where it says three of the cultivars are morello types and one ('Montmorency') is an amorelle type.
