Evans Bali Tart Cherry

Prunus cerasus 'Evans Bali'
  • Summary
  • Hardiness Zone & More

Evans Bali Tart cherry is one of the hardiest tart cherries to be found.  It is a naturally compact, dwarfish tree that will withstand the cold north winters and produce an abundance of tart pie cherries which are bright red.  If left on the tree to hang, they will develop more sugar and become a great snacking cherry.  It is self-fertile and requires no other pollinator. It is highly productive and ripens with most other tart cherries.

The true origin of Evans Bali may be a little murky, but it was introduced to the fruit growing world by Dr. Ieuan Evans, a Canadian plant developer, who apparently found it growing in a backyard in Edmonton, Alberta.  Some call it just "Evans", some just "Bali", but we are taking the "safe road" in calling it "Evans Bali".
