Breeding for cherries

[cdntomato]

I am looking at available cherry colorations in OPs for several friends who run CSAs and/or farmgate stands as well as selling at farmers markets and to local restaurants. The range of colours is still fairly limited; yes, there's a black and a green and an orange but only one variety of note in each. Really lacking is a good tasting pink. I've not been fond of Pearly Pink Cherry except with regard to its looks and Rose Quartz has been hit and miss as has Dr Carolyn Pink.

So...a breeding project for cherries is looming.

Please forward suggestions for crosses to attempt.

I've already and accidently stumbled onto a tasty orange cross and will try to stablize it now. Tentative names: Andrea's Agony or Andrea's Anguish (it was her first attempt at saving seeds...Provenzano, she thought. Planted her first year Prov. crop no where near any cherries or oranges so cannot figure this crossing out. Ah well)
