NOTES:
Tulare has grown to be a mainstay in the southern part of the San Joaquin Valley. It is a smooth fire engine red cherry that ripens a few days after Brooks. It is very crack resistant and virtually non-doubling. It is firm, juicy, sweet and medium size and has been a good export variety. It blooms about 5 days before Brooks and can be pollinated using Glenare, 44P1018 and 42P597 as timely pollinators. Brooks may be used as a late pollinator, and Tulare cross-pollinates Brooks. The cropping is usually sufficient with reasonable weather and chill.
