ABSTRACT:
Hardy tree of medium size and vigor; from `Large Red`.times.`Ruby`. Less open and spreading than `Large Red`, more open than `Ruby`. Self-shapes to rounded figure and moderate density, from open, leggy specimen. Scaffolds have strong, wide angles; secondary branching pendulous. Fruiting precocious, regular, and on spurs spaced about 6 cm; each having 5-6 fertile buds. May overbear on warm, dry years; sets well in wet, rainy weather during pollination, as in 1995. Mature leaves on 1-year wood are large, ovate, acuminate, acutely pointed; margins medium coarsely crenate; spur leaves are smaller, less crenate, more serrate, like those of `Large Red`. Blooms 6 days after `Early Red`, 2 days after `Ruby`, 4 days before `Garnet` and `Large Red', 9 days before `Bing` in Lodi. Fruit on May 15, 1994 following `Early Red` by 10 days, `Ruby` by 3, but 3 days before `Garnet`, 9 days before `Bing`. Fruit is unformly very very large with normal crop load; fruit stems are medium long when on Mahaleb stock. Fruiting uniformly on branches throughout tree; of uncommonly uniform ripening. Flesh is firm, meaty at picking ripe, slightly less firm than standards `Garnet` and `Bing`. Eating quality is exceptionally fine with high soluble solids, low/moderate acid, very agreeable sugar to acid ratio and semi-free stone. Flesh and juice are light red when skin attains solid light red; darkens with progressive ripeness.
