Abstract
The sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) forms, together with other species of the genus Prunus, the subgenus Cerasus, where other interesting species are: P. fruticosa Pallas, which forms a hybrid with P. cerasus locally common in Central Europe; P. mahaleb L., used as a rootstock; and P. avium L., the most important for both fruit and wood. The hybrid between P. avium and P. cerasus, P. × gondouinii (Poiteau and Turpin) Rehder, is cultivated in W. Europe as the Duke cherry. Sour cherry is similar in many aspects to sweet cherry (P. avium), but it is usually a shrub or a small tree without a well-defined trunk and with many suckers, and has smaller and firmer leaves, which do not drop. It is usually self-fertile and the fruit, bright red and sour, is mainly used for preserving.
