Abstract
A new and distinct variety of sweet cherry tree which produces large and firm fruit having rich, strong cherry flavor, crisp flesh and which contain large stones of round to round-conic shape. The fruit has exceptionally high levels of soluble solids at ripeness. A seeding of `NY1725`, the tree is particularly characterized as being self-unfertile, late coming into production, but which bears dark, sweet fruit that is resistant to water stress induced cracking. This vigorous tree is of upright branching habit, forms a tall pyramidal figure, and shows resistance to bacterial canker.
