Abstract

A new distinctive cultivar of sour cherry (Prunus cersus) which is exceptional in combining 1) high quality, totally red fruit, 2) a tree habit that has fewer lateral and secondary lateral branches than many other cultivars and which facilitates ease of hand harvesting, and 3) having a unique late season anthesis of its flowers so that they evade spring frost damage. The cultivar is named `Surefire` and was tested as NY 12716.
