Cherry tree named ‘Glenearly’

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cherry tree, Prunus avium , and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size, moderately vigorous, hardy, self unfruitful, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in the early part of May, with first picking on May 7, 2012. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, sweet in flavor, somewhat oblate in shape, clingstone in type, firm in texture, dark red in flesh color, and very dark red in skin color.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of cherry tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to the ‘Glenred’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,859) cherry by having reniform glands, and by producing fruit that is dark red in skin color, dark red in flesh color, firm, sweet, and fairly crack resistant, but is distinguished therefrom by blooming about three days earlier, by being somewhat less susceptible to over-production, and by producing cherries that are slightly smaller, that are clingstone instead of semi-freestone, and that ripen about five days earlier.
