| Description |
U.S. Department of Agriculture released for propagation in 1961. First fruited in this country at the U.S. Plant Introduction Sta., Chico, Calif., in 1948. Early Burlat is the commercial synonym for a cultivar introduced from Morocco in 1936 as P.I. 125106 Bigarreau Hatif de Burlat, from France in 1938 as P.I 127378 Hatif. Burlat, and in 1949 as P.I. 162449 Bigarreau Precoce de Burlat.
Fruit: sweet; large; skin red to dark purplish-red; flesh medium firm, more so than Black Tartarian and Chapman, but not as firm as Bing'. Although 'Early Burlat' fruit is less firm than
that of 'Bing', it is suitable for fairly distant
shipping. The flesh is fine textured and less
acid than that of most early cultivars. The
tree is moderately vigorous and upright to
upright-spreading. The leaves are coarsely serrate.
Stem length medium, thick; eminently suitable for shipping long distances;ripens 4-7 days before Black Tartarian and 2 days after Moreau in Stockton, Calif., cherr district, but too late in Oregon to compete in the early market; excellent market acceptance; doubling generally lower than Bing, but the majority of doubles drop before harvest; susceptible to cracking, after rain. |
