Abstract

A new distinctive cultivar of sweet cherry (Prunus avium) named 'Somerset' (formerly tested as NY 6476) which is exceptional in combining 1) firm, highly attractive fruit that resist rain induced fruit cracking, 2) a tree habit that branches more profusely than many other cultivars and which facilitates precocious cropping, and 3) having a unique affinity of genetic compatibility with some hybrid cherry rootstock cultivars that cause genetic incompatibility and early decline in many other scion cultivars.
