In the reference 10 varieties crop Sour cherry, where this is mentioned in the description.

The transportability of sour cherry is not an isolated physical parameter and is evaluated as a qualitative characteristic of the cultivar within the framework of commercial and technological analysis. It directly depends on factors such as fruit weight, skin strength, and flesh firmness, which determine resistance to mechanical damage and bruising during transport.

In breeding and cultivar evaluation, this indicator is used to differentiate cultivars intended for fresh market sale or industrial processing. Cultivars with low transportability, possessing a delicate flesh consistency, are directed to the production of juices, jams, and preserves, as they are unable to withstand long-distance transport without loss of consumer quality.
