Notes

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of how to grow dwarf sour cherries commercially, with a focus on cold-hardy varieties developed in Canada, especially suited for the Canadian Prairies and other northern climates. It covers all major aspects of production—from choosing cultivars, site selection, propagation, and planting, to pruning, pest and disease management, harvesting (including mechanized options), and marketing.

The book highlights the University of Saskatchewan's breeding program, which developed dwarf sour cherry cultivars that are compact, hardy, and produce high-quality fruit. These cherries offer growers a unique opportunity due to their suitability for mechanical harvest and potential in value-added products.

Designed for commercial growers, this guide emphasizes practical, research-based strategies for successful orchard establishment and long-term management.
