Cherry tree named ‘Jonred 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, moderately vigorous, hardy, self-unfruitful, and productive tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in mid May, with first picking on May 15, 2019. The fruit is uniformly large in size, very sweet in flavor, oblate in shape, clingstone in type, very firm in texture, dark 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 its seed parent, ‘Glenred’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,859) cherry, by having a moderately vigorous tree, by blooming heavy, by being self-unfruitful, by having oval to reniform leaf glands, by being productive, and by producing medium to large cherries that are dark red in skin color, dark red in flesh color, oblate in shape, and fairly crack resistant, but is distinguished therefrom by blooming about six days later and by producing cherries that ripen about five days earlier, that are firmer in texture, that are sweeter in flavor, and that have a stronger stem attachment.
