基本信息
名称：美国加州樱桃
科属：蔷薇科樱属
樱桃产地
加利福利亚洲的樱桃产地分布于萨克拉曼多、 圣华和中央谷，但是主要产地聚集在加州北部。
主要品种
加州樱桃分为早季和晚季，早季樱桃在五月份采摘，主要有两个品种：布鲁克(Brooks)和图莱尔(Tulare)，布鲁克是加利福尼亚大学分校所开发的樱桃品种，由Rainier（雷尼尔）和Burlat(布莱特)杂交获得，布鲁克(Brooks)和图莱尔(Tulare)都果核小，果肉紧实且含水量高，果肉细腻，入口甜美。所不同的是，布鲁克(Brooks)外表鲜红，果粒大而甜度高；尤其值得一提的是，早期的早熟品种樱桃口感都比较差：个头小，质感软，甜度低。直到在Brooks（布鲁克）开发出来后才出现转变，布鲁克斯个头大，口感良好，是早熟樱桃里的优良品种。图莱尔(Tulare)则外表深红，果粒呈心型，肉质多汁，甜度中高，清香可口。
了解加州樱桃
由于土壤、气候等自然环境元素的差异，国产樱桃无论是在口感上还是在外观上都无法和美国出产的樱桃相比。太平洋黄金海岸边的加利福尼亚州是美国樱桃的主要种植区，加州的Lodi、Linden、Stockton、MorganHill、Gilroy、Hollister等土壤肥沃，白天日照充足、夜晚气温寒冷干燥的山谷地区，都是最适合樱桃生长的天然环境，在这些地方出产的樱桃，称之为美国“加州樱桃”。
加州樱桃种植源于上世纪中叶，每年收获季节为每年5月至6月底，品种包括宾莹，布鲁克，图莱尔，珊瑚，雪兰等几十种。目前在加州有300平方英里的樱桃种植园。
