Evans Cherry
Klondike Amur Cherry

Evans Cherry is a cold-hardy sour cherry tree that is typically highly productive. It produces bright red, tart fruit that are well suited to fresh eating, baking, and preserves. In the spring, beautiful white flowers cover the branches, adding ornamental value.

Evans Cherry was developed in Alberta. It was rediscovered in 1976 near Edmonton, AB, by Dr. Ieuan Evans.

Sour cherries are self-fertile; however, planting with additional varieties for cross-pollination can increase yields.

The Klondike Amur Cherry is an attractive cultivar which features showy, peeling gold bark and textured oval leaves that turn bright yellow in fall. It blooms with fragrant white flowers in mid spring, and produces tiny, tart black berries through the summer. The Klondike Amur Cherry was bred to have improved stem strength and stronger branching.

This tree makes a great addition to urban gardens and commercial planting, and is immune to black knot.
