Popis: Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) production has developed since the earliest plantings in 1970 in Los Antiguos (Argentina) and the latest in 1990 in Chile Chico (Chile). During the last few years, new cultivars have been introduced in the region, but there are no records about their phenology and fruit quality. The aim of this study was to characterize nine sweet cherry cultivars (‘Bing’, ‘Van’, ‘Kordia’, ‘Lapins’, ‘Sunburst’, ‘Napolitana’, ‘Rainier’, ‘Newstar’ and ‘Sweetheart’) growing in these areas by phenological and fruit quality aspects such as weight, caliber, soluble solids content (SSC), firmness, titratable acidity (TA) and color (L*, C* and h*). Phenology was determined from first bloom to harvest. For postharvest fruit quality determinations, three samples of 100 fruit of each cultivar were collected at harvest from commercial orchards (2 to 6 orchards per cultivar). Means were statistically analyzed with a GLM procedure and Tukey test. Significant differences were found in all characteristics (p
