Abstract
As a mutation of the cherry tree variety ‘Lapins’, a new and distinct variety of cherry tree, which is denominated varietally as ‘HR87’, is described with variable, but typically bright red, sometimes blonde areas of skin, sometimes darker areas of skin, of the fruits and a consistent, notable, dark red line associated with the suture of each fruit under the ecological conditions prevailing in the Hood River Valley of Oreg., USA. The distinct color variation of the sometimes bicolored fruit has a variable (fruit to fruit) pattern of red pigmentation over a sometimes blonde background. The fruits are distinguished by a consistent dark red line of pigmented cells along the suture line of the fruit. This dark red line consistently persists through the variable colored flesh to the pit of the fruit.
