This page provides videos showing how to phenotype fruit firmness, skin color, and other fresh fruit traits of tart cherry. These videos were developed to standardize phenotyping of the RosBREED’s Crop Reference Sets across five rosaceous crops: apple, peach, strawberry, sweet cherry, and tart cherry.

You can view the videos below or on the RosBREED project site.
