NOTE:
Glenred is a Sequoia® type cherry developed by Bradford Farms for the southern part of the San Joaquin Valley that is dark red and ripens about 2 days after Brooks. It is large in size, firm in texture, very sweet in flavor and very productive, as over cropping has been a slight problem in the breeding grounds. Like the Tulare it is virtually non-doubling, and like the Brooks it is large in size. It is fairly good for crack resistance. The Glenred blooms very early and should utilize one of the early pollinators listed above. It also blooms very heavily and comes into production very in life. The variety has shown to do well in Arvin (low chill area). |
