Cherry tree named ‘Glensweet I’

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, vigorous, hardy, self-unfruitful, and productive tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in mid May, with first picking on May 17, 2017. The fruit is uniformly medium to large in size, sub-acidic and sweet in flavor, heart shaped, semi-freestone in type, firm in texture, red in flesh color, very dark red in skin color, and 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 ‘Glenheart’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 27,248) cherry, by having a medium size and vigorous tree, by blooming heavy in the early to mid season, by being self-unfruitful, by having oval to reniform leaf glands, by being productive, and by producing cherries that ripen in mid May that are medium to large in size, dark red in skin color, dark red in flesh color, firm in texture, and fairly crack resistant, but is distinguished therefrom by producing cherries that are heart shaped instead of oblate, that are semi-freestone instead of clingstone, that are much less acidic in flavor, and that have longer stems.
