Definitions
- Prunus avium Latin name of the genus and species claimed: Prunus avium.
- the new and distinct sweet cherry tree described and claimed herein originated from open pollinated seeds from a sweet cherry tree designated as 18-19 growing in a commercial orchard located near Delano, in Kern County, Calif. collected in May 2001. The seeds were stratified, germinated and the resulting 59 seedlings were planted in the field near Delano, Kern County, Calif. in April 2002.
- the present variety of sweet cherry tree was selected as a single plant in May 2005 and was first asexually propagated in January 2006 by grafting onto Prunus mahalab rootstock. This propagule was found to reproduce true-to-type by asexual propagation. All propagation was done near Delano, Kern County Calif.
- the sweet cherry breeding program has as one of its objectives the development of new sweet cherry varieties that can maintain high quality after long storage and transit times. Sweet cherries shipped internationally may require up to 40 days between harvest and final sale to the end consumer. Few cherry varieties can endure such long storage times and maintain good quality. The present variety is being released because of its improved storage ability and improved fruit quality after long term storage compared to existing sweet cherry varieties.
- the new sweet cherry tree ‘IFG Cher-seven’ is characterized by producing large size dark red fruits having reniform shape. Fruits ripen mid-season, about seven days after the ‘Brooks’ variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,676) and approximately with the ‘Santina’ (Canadian PBR 1202), (not patented in USA) variety.
- the ‘IFG Cher-seven’ has firm, medium acid fruit with an excellent cherry flavor. Fruits are more tolerant of rain induced cracking than ‘Brooks’ or ‘Santina’.
- the tree has a medium-high chilling requirement, somewhat higher than the ‘Brooks’ variety but somewhat lower than the ‘Santina’ variety.
- ‘IFG Cher-seven’ In comparison with the ‘Santina’, the fruit stems ‘IFG Cher-seven’ remain substantially greener, less shriveled in appearance and have stronger attachment after 40 days of storage. The eating quality is better than ‘Santina’ after 40 days of cold storage.
- the fruit shape is reniform compared to the more heart shape of ‘Santina’.
- Fruits of ‘IFG Cher-seven’ show less tendency to crack on the stylar end as compared to the ‘Santina’ variety.
- ‘IFG Cher-seven’ is self-incompatible having S4S9 pollen alleles as compared to ‘Santina’, which is self-fertile having the S4 prime gene for self-fertility.
- FIG. 1 illustrates in full color ‘IFG Cher-seven’ taken from a 9-year old tree. The photograph was taken outdoors with indirect lighting. The colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
- An actively growing shoot tip can be seen in the upper portion of the drawing.
- Typical mature fruit, fruit in cross section and cleaned and dried fruit pits are displayed in the lower half of the drawing.
