Cherry disaster

green_go · October 18, 2013

I have grown several cherry varieties this year:
1. Sweet 100
2. Sun Gold
3. Black Cherry
Due to frequent rains this summer, I lost about 2/3 of the crop due to splitting/rot. All 3 varieties turned out to be very prone to splitting. The only success I had was with Helsing ★★★★★★★★ Blues cherry– not a single fruit split (but kids wouldn’t eat it – only me and my husband enjoyed this “weirdo”

)
So, I’m planning for the next year and I am looking for the recommendations on good-tasting cherries in red-orange-yellow-black range that don’t split. From what reviews I read here, Mexico Midget and Riesentraube are supposedly good-tasting non-splitters reds.
Are there any recommendations for yellow-orange-black-multicolored?
