Book excerpt: Sweet and sour cherries (Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus) are important fruit crops for which demand is high and growing. A significant number of new varieties, rootstocks and training systems have been released or developed in recent years in order to improve the efficiency and profitability of cherry orchards. Cherries: Botany, Production and Uses covers the genetics, ecophysiology, production, protection and uses of cherries. Presenting up-to-date scientific data and applied information, this book is invaluable for researchers, teachers and all professionals working in the cherries value chain.

Download or read book An Investment Analysis of Planting Sweet Cherries in Washington written by Michael Rattray and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choosing a viable long-run crop investment can be risky and time consuming for farmers. The high establishment costs and risk for perennial tree crops like cherries require producers to conduct careful analysis prior to investing. Farmers must not only look to prices today but to the long term price trends that are likely affect the investment profitability. This thesis is an investment analysis on planting twenty-five acres of Sweetheart cherries in Washington State. The purpose is to calculate the total net present value over the commercially productive life of the cherry trees. Prices received by growers for sweet cherry production can fluctuate. Sweet cherries are also susceptible to yield volatility. Therefore, a sensitivity analysis was calculated that shows the changes in price and yield and its effect on net present value. Sweet cherry production for fresh market is also labor intensive. Changes in labor supply and minimum wage can affect a farmers profit margins. This thesis evaluates the risk of a wage shock to the total net present value of the investment. The net present value calculated was found to be positive, making planting Sweetheart cherries a viable option for Hillslide Orchards. The internal rate of return was favorable at 12.30% return. Yield risk was relatively low in this model showing positive net present values at 60% over base yield and still positive at 40% below base yields. The price risk was found to be slightly higher with negative net present values below $1.00 or 20% below the base price. It is important to note that this model represents planting a block of Sweetheart cherries within an existing operation. There are additional costs that would be incurred for other farm operations, not modeled here that could decrease the overall profitability under alternative planting scenarios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unfortunately, no one rootstock can satisfy all the requirements for consistently producing copious amounts of large, firm fruit of premium quality. Growers are strongly advised to consider carefully the effects of each specific rootstock/scion combination as a function of environmental and cultural practices when replanting an orchard (Tables 1 and 2). Selecting the proper rootstock depends not only on the management skills of the grower but also on the scion cultivar, training system and site selected for the orchard. Furthermore, it is often possible for semi-dwarfing cherry rootstocks to be highly productive. However, when these rootstocks are combined with productive scion cultivars, it can lead to an over-cropping situation. In addition, productive scion/rootstock combinations are only recommended for fertile soils. For more information about the attributes of specific cultivars, please see PNW 604, "Sweet Cherry Cultivars for the Fresh Market." Semi-dwarfing rootstocks do, however, have major economic advantages. A recent study conducted among several Oregon growers (Seavert and Long, 2007) found that growers could recover their entire cost of establishment in eight years with a high-density orchard on productive rootstocks, compared to fifteen years for a standard-density orchard on 'Mazzard' rootstock. The development of these new semi-dwarfing, precocious rootstocks has been almost as significant to the sweet cherry industry as to the apple industry several decades ago. When compared to 'Mazzard', 'Colt' and even 'Mahaleb', size-controlling rootstocks have allowed sweet cherry growers an opportunity to plant high-density, pedestrian orchards that afford high early yields, easier management and a safer and more productive working environment."--Summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cherry growers have many options when it comes to choosing rootstocks. The combination of new dwarfing rootstocks with high-density training systems leads to earlier production. But growers need to consider soil fertility, scion choice and training systems when choosing rootstocks. Here are some guidelines that can help.

Cherries basically started out as a wild Cherry in Central Asia, America and Europe. In Japanese myth and culture the cherry refer to cherry trees and cherry blossom. Cherries have been a part of culinary history in ancient Rome where it was brought by Roman soldiers from Armenia in 72 BC. It came to England with Henry the VIIIth who tasted this fruit in Flanders and wanted it cultivated in England. Cherries which you eat at the table or cooked are either sweet -Prunus avium- or sour -Prunus cerasus- in taste. The growing of cherries in large quantities for commercial purposes is a challenge because of their vulnerability to harsh elements and the high cost of spraying, irrigation , maintenance of trees and labor costs.
