The sweet cherry tree has a medium low chilling requirement, about 300 to 400 chill hours.

Description

[0001]Latin name of the genus and species claimed: Prunus avium. [0002]Variety denomination: ‘IFG Cher-four’.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The new and distinct sweet cherry tree described and claimed herein originated from open pollinated seeds of fruits of an early ripening unidentified female parent located in Bakersfield, Kern County, Calif. collected in May 2001. The male parent is unknown. The seeds were stratified, germinated and the resulting 540 seedlings were planted in a field near Delano, Kern County, Calif. in April 2002. The present variety of sweet cherry tree was selected as a single plant in May 2005 and was first asexually propagated in January 2006 by grafting onto Prunus mahalab rootstock. These propagules were found to reproduce true-to-type by asexual propagation. All propagation was done near Delano, Kern County Calif.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]Sweet cherries have traditionally been grown in climates with long cold winters and cool to moderately war...
