One of the most topical issues in modern cerasiculture is undoubtedly that of comparing plants with different densities. Increased density leads to higher initial costs and a shorter productive life span of the plants, two factors with a high impact on production costs.

Today cherry cultivation involves densities of up to a few thousand plants/ha. Intensification tends to result in earlier entry into production and improved fruit quality, but this is counterbalanced by higher planting costs and a shorter productive life of the plants.

Anthocyanin is responsible for the red colour, and its presence has a direct impact on the colour of fruits. Multiple factors have a direct influence on anthocyanin accumulation and, among them, temperature serves a crucial role in regulating the accumulation of anthocyanin.
