Abstract
A new cherry tree named ‘Kara King’ distinguished primarily by its wide harvest window. Early fruit is yellow and light red, suitable for market as ‘Rainier’-type cherry, while late-season fruit is dark red, suitable for market as a ‘Bing’-type cherry. ‘Kara King’ is further distinguished by its large fruit size and high sugar content.
Description
Genus and species: Prunus avium.
Variety denomination: ‘Kara King’.
‘Kara King’ is a new sweet cherry tree discovered in 2004 in a ‘Bing’ (not patented) cherry orchard near East Wenatchee, Wash. ‘Kara King’ originated as a chance seedling of unknown parentage; ‘Bing’ and ‘Rainier’ (not patented) cherry trees planted nearby are possible parents. In 2005, scionwood cuttings of the seedling were budded on ‘Mazzard’ rootstock (not patented) near Quincy, Wash., to produce test trees for further observation. The test trees were planted in 2007 near Mattawa, Wash. The ‘Kara King’ cherry tree has been found to exhibit its distinctive characteristics through successive asexually propagated generations.
‘Kara King’ is distinguished primarily by its wide harvest window. Early fruit is yellow and light red, suitable for market as ‘Rainier’-type cherry, while late-season fruit is dark red, suitable for market as a ‘Bing’-type cherry. ‘Kara King’ is further distinguished by its large fruit size and high sugar content.
The photographs in FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 5 were taken during June of 2018, and the photograph in FIG. 6 was taken on Apr. 18, 2018. The photograph in FIG. 3 was taken in June 2014. All photos are of trees planted in 2007 near Mattawa, Wash. The colors of the photographs may vary with lighting conditions. Color characteristics of the new variety should therefore be determined with reference to the observations described herein, rather than from the photographs alone.
The following detailed botanical description is based on observations of second-generation trees of the variety, planted in 2007 and grown on ‘Mazzard’ rootstock (not patented) on a V-trellis system. Observations were recorded during the 2018 growing season near Mattawa, Wash. The characteristics described will vary somewhat depending upon cultural practices and climatic conditions, and can vary with location and season. Quantified measurements are expressed as an average of measurements taken from a number of individual plants of the new variety. The measurements of any individual plant, or any group of plants, of the new variety may vary from the stated average. Tree and branch colors are described with reference to The R.H.S. Colour Chart (Royal Horticultural Society, 6th edition 2015); all other colors are described with reference to the Munsell Book of Color.
