Description
The Evans Bali Cherry is a hardy, heavy-producing tart cherry variety prized for its deep red fruit, exceptional cold tolerance, and dependable yields. Known for thriving in regions too cold for many other cherry varieties, it has become a top choice for northern growers seeking both hardiness and high-quality fruit.
This variety stands out for its deep, dark red cherries that reach about 1 inch in diameter—larger than many tart cherry varieties. The fruit is much sweeter than traditional sour cherries, making it excellent for baking, preserves, and fresh eating straight from the tree. Evans Bali also features extremely hardy buds, allowing it to reliably set fruit even after harsh winters or late-spring cold snaps.
