Evan’s Cherry is a sour cherry under Prunus cerasus, the true sour cherry species native to Europe. The University of Saskatchewan article presents it as an exception among sour cherries, which are not usually expected to survive in Saskatchewan. Evan’s may be one of the more cold tolerant cultivars in the species and may be shorter than typical sour cherries. [S1]
The source gives no parentage, breeder, release date, or selection history for Evan’s Cherry. In this account, it matters because it is an unusually hardy Prunus cerasus example in an article about dwarf sour cherries for prairie climates and University of Saskatchewan cherry work. [S1]
The available source block gives no fruit description for Evan’s Cherry. The surrounding taxonomy section says sour cherries are often called tart cherries in the United States, but it does not describe Evan’s fruit size, color, flavor, season, or use. [S1]
The tree is described only by comparison. Typical Prunus cerasus sour cherries are often 5 to 8 m tall. Evan’s Cherry may be shorter than other sour cherries. [S1]
Hardiness is the main point in the available evidence. The article says sour cherries are not supposed to be hardy in Zone 2, and Zone 3 is usually near the cold limit for even the most tolerant varieties. In that context, Evan’s Cherry is singled out as possibly one of the more cold tolerant sour cherries and as a cultivar that challenges the usual Saskatchewan limit. [S1]
Taxonomically, Evan’s Cherry is treated as a sour cherry, Prunus cerasus. The same article contrasts P. cerasus with Prunus fruiticosa, the Mongolian cherry, described as a very short, cold hardy Siberian species in the broader dwarf sour cherry context. No direct parentage link is stated for Evan’s Cherry. [S1]
