Red segregation line (#1 from 2012) with best flavor and earliest maturity. 5 plants. All fruits are the same, large cherry or small saladette size, bright red, with delicious sweet flavor. 2 plants out of 5 are jointless.

No.1 : first ripe fruit on August 10. Red large slightly flattened cherry.

No.3: excellent balanced flavor, with good deal of sweetness.

No.4: jointless, very good, sweet, large cherry

No.5 - jointless, best flavor so far.

In 2012 it continued to segregate, producing orange, red, and pink cherries, some of them with excellent rich flavor. 2 plants produced red cherries and 1 produced orange cherry fruit. I continued selection for red fruit.

No.1 - bright red cherries with excellent very rich sweet flavor. The earliest out of all the other plants.

No.2 peachy-orange cherry with very good mild sweet flavor.

No.3 - bright red cherries that look exactly like No.1, but the flavor is milder. Ripened 2 weeks after No.1.

No.4 - slightly oblate pink cherries with good mild flavor.
