Cherry tree named ‘Glensweet II’

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 early to mid May, with first picking on May 9, 2017. The fruit is uniformly large in size, sweet and sub-acidic in flavor, oblate in shape, semi-freestone in type, firm in texture, mostly yellow in flesh color, and red and yellow in skin color. The stem is long and 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 ‘Glencrest’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 27,369) cherry, by being a medium size and moderately vigorous tree, by having a heavy bloom, by being self-unfruitful, by having oval to reniform leaf glands, by being productive, and by producing cherries that have a strongly attached stem and that are somewhat freestone in type, firm in texture, oblate in shape, and fairly crack resistant, but is distinguished therefrom by blooming about four days earlier and by producing cherries that ripen about five days earlier, that are larger in size, that are yellow instead of red in flesh color, that are a red and yellow two-tone instead of full red in skin color, that are sub-acidic and sweeter in flavor, and that have a much longer stem.
