Summary

Five sour cherry varieties were successfully cryopreserved using cold hardy, dormant vegetative buds. Twig sections dried to moisture contents of approximately 25% (fresh weight basis) survived exposure to about -160 °C more successfully than those with higher moisture contents. Levels of survival observed were sufficient to initiate practical application of cryopreservation in sour cherry and in a test of 19 lines, 13 had survival rates exceeding 40% after liquid nitrogen exposure.
