Cherry tree named ‘Arvin Bruce’

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 early May, with first picking on May 3, 2014. The fruit is uniformly medium to large in size, very good in flavor, somewhat oblate in shape, freestone in type, moderately firm in texture, heat tolerant, red to yellowish pink in flesh color, deep red in skin color, and it has a medium length stem that is strongly attached to the fruit.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of cherry tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to its seed parent, ‘Glenred’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,859) cherry, by being self-unfruitful, by blooming during the early season, by having reniform glands, by being productive, and by producing fruit that is full red in skin color, somewhat oblate in shape, moderately firm, sweet, and fairly crack resistant, but is distinguished therefrom by producing cherries that are somewhat larger in size, that are a lighter red in flesh color, that are fully freestone instead of semi-freestone, that ripen about five days earlier, and that have stems that are more strongly attached.
