Abstract

The present invention relates to a cherry tree, Prunus avium , and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, self-sterile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in the latter part of May, with first picking on May 21, 2003. The fruit is uniformly medium to large in size, very sweet in flavor, oblate in shape, clingstone in type, firm in texture, red in flesh color, and dark red in skin color.

Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.

I claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of cherry tree, substantially as illustrated and decribed, that is most similar to the ‘Tulare’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,407) cherry by blooming at the same time and by producing cherries that are medium to large in size, firm in texture, dark red in skin color, red in flesh color, and sweet in flavor, but is distinguished therefrom and an improvement thereon by producing cherries that are somewhat oblate in shape rather than heart shaped and by being a pollinator for both the ‘Glenred’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,859) and the ‘Tulare’.
