ResumoThirty seven cherry cultivars were introduced at Temperate Horticultural Research Station, Kotkhai (National Hortorium) during 1961 to 1965 out of which 20 are still existing in satisfactory condition of growth and productivity. Cultivar Triumph Domini was very good yielder which produced 46.0 kg fruit (cummulative yield of 1990–1992). This was followed by Pictroase Negre (10.700 kg) and Germersdorfer (10.450 kg). Triumph Domini was also earliest to ripe closely followed by Pictroase Negre and were early to the already recommended cultivar Seneca. These are bright to dark red in colour and sweet in taste. Triumph Domini, Bigarreau Noir Hative, Germersdorfer and Emperor Francis were almost free from shot hole leaf disease and all other cultivars had light to moderately high attack of the disease. Moderate to sever infestation of flat headed peach tree borer, Sphenoptera lafertei Thomson was noticed in most of the germplasm. However, trees of Triumph Domini, Bigarreau Noir Hative, Bedford Prolific-202, Pictroase Negre, and Early River were free from the ravages of the insect pest.
