Abstract Net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of leaves of sour cherry ( Prunus cerasus L. cv. Montmorency) was greater for leaves between nodes 9 and 13 than for either older, mature leaves or newly expanding leaves on the same shoot. For individual leaves, Pn reached maximum when the leaf was greater than 80% expanded, remained constant for 2 to 4 weeks, then gradually declined. Hyperbolic and parabolic response curves were observed in response to light and temperature, respectively. Maximum Pn occurred at light intensities between 800–1200 μEm −2 s −1 . Optimum temperature ranged with light level and vapor pressure deficit (YPD), but was generally between 15 to 30°C. Pn increased as CO 2 concentration increased between 0 and 600 ppm, the CO 2 compensation point being about 80 ppm. Under optimum conditions Pn ranged between 30 to 35 mg CO 2 dm −2 hr −1 .
