Abstract
A cherry tree which is large, vigorous, upright, dense, vase-formed, and hardy; foliated with large, ovate, medium thick, smooth, abruptly pointed, dark green leaves having a crenate to coarsely serrate margin, a petiole of medium length and thickness, and medium size, alternate, reniform, red glands; blooms early from hardy, free buds of medium size and length; the flowers being of medium size and white; and is a regular and very productive bearer of early and evenly ripening, semi-freestone, uniform, medium size fruit broadly compressed toward the suture, the fruit having thick to medium thick, tough skin dark purple when eating ripe, and red flesh.
Description
1. Field of the Invention:
Over a substantial number of years, and in an extensive plant breeding program conducted at his experimental nursery and orchard located near Le Grand, Merced County, Calif., Frederic W. Anderson, now deceased, originated a large number of new and distinct varieties of fruit trees, and which included the herein-claimed variety of cherry tree.
2. Classification of the Variety:
The present variety of cherry tree is embraced by Class 37, Plants, of the United States Patent Office Manual of Classification.
3. Prior Varieties:
Among the existent varieties of cherry trees which were known to originator, particular reference is made to Bing (unpatented) and Bing d'Andy (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,198).
The present variety of cherry tree was originated in the aforesaid experimental nursery and orchard as a seedling produced from an open-pollinated Bing d'Andy seed.
Subsequent to origination of the present variety of cherry tree, it was asexually reproduced--by originator--by grafting and budding on suitable rootstock, and in maturity such reproductions ran true to the original tree in all respects.
The present variety of cherry tree is, characteristically, large, vigorous, upright, dense, vase-formed, and hardy; foliated with large, ovate, medium thick, smooth, abruptly pointed, dark green leaves having a crenate to coarsely serrate margin, a petiole of medium length and thickness, and medium size, alternate, reniform, red glands; blooms early from hardy, free buds of medium size and length; the flowers being of medium size and white; and is a regular and very productive bearer of early and evenly ripening, semi-freestone, uniform, medium size fruit broadly compressed toward the suture, the fruit having thick to medium thick, tough skin dark purple when eating ripe, and red flesh.
The present variety of cherry tree is further characterized by flowers which bloom approximately four days before the Bing, and by fruit which ripens approximately one week before the Bing.
The present variety of cherry tree is still further characterized by the stem of the fruit being easily detached from the fruiting spurs yet firmly attached to the fruit, and there being resistance to the occurrence of spurs and doubling in the fruit in very hot climatic conditions.
The present variety of cherry tree is additionally characterized by fruit having a tough skin, and which advantageously provides substantial resistance to disease and insect penetration, and a lessening of harvest damage.
The drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a limb with leaves and red, hard-ripe fruit; the limb being shown with a portion of the primary scaffold of the tree.
