Benefits of technology

The patent text describes the characteristics of two cherry varieties, "IFG Cher-eight" and "IFG Cher- three". These varieties have similar chilling requirements and can be successfully grown in lower chill regions where "Brooks" cannot be grown. However, "IFG Cher-eight" has several advantages such as fewer undesirable fruits, superior stem attachment, and storage characteristics. It also has a lower chilling requirement and is softer and more pliable during long term storage. Overall, this patent aims to provide information on the distinguishing features of these two cherry varieties for the benefit of researchers and breeders.

Problems solved by technology

Such climates provide enough cold winter temperatures to allow normal growth to resume in the spring and summer temperatures that are low enough not to induce production of unmarketable double or spurred fruit, but it limits the seasonality that sweet cherries are available.
