Abstract
A new and distinct variety of plum tree Prunus salicina, which is somewhat similar to the "Red Beaut" plum tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,539) in the production of fruit of similar size, shape, color and date of maturity, as well as in other respects, but from which it is distinguished in a number of respects including by producing abundant pollen which substantially enhances is ability to set a crop.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of plum tree, which will hereinafter be denominated varietally as the "7-B" plum tree, and, more particularly, to a plum tree which produces fruit, which are mature for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately May 25 to June 8 in the San Joaquin Valley of central California.
A problem inherent to one degree or another with virtually all commercial varieties of fruit trees is pollination. Obviously, without adequate pollination, crop production is inadequate. With some commercial varieties of tree fruit, this is a chronic problem.
The "Red Beaut" plum tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,539) is pollen sterile. Experience has taught, since is introduction in 1965, that the "Red Beaut" cultivar frequently sets light crops. While the fruit produced by the "Red Beaut" plum variety is commercially successful, it has earned a reputation among growers for being a plum variety on which it is difficult to set a crop.
As a consequence, considerable effort has been devoted to improving upon the pollination characteristics of the "Red Beaut" plum tree in commercial farming operations. For example, growers have grafted the wood of other plum varieties directly onto each "Red Beaut" plum tree in their orchards to produce limbs for pollination of the "Red Beaut" variety. These "pollinator limbs" have only been partially successful in achieving the desired result due to the fact that the pollen sterile flowers of the "Red Beaut" plum variety remain unatractive to the bees, even though they have collected pollen from the flowers of the pollinator limbs. Due to the expense involved in establishing pollinator limbs and the marginal success thereof, the "Red Beaut" plum variety is not as commercially successful as would otherwise be the case.
Therefore, it has long been recognized that it would be desirable to have a variety of plum tree having all the attractive characteristics of the "Red Beaut" cultivar, but which possesses improved pollination capabilities. The new plum variety of the present invention appears to be such a cultivar.
The variety was discovered as a sport of the variety `Red Beaut` by the inventor in April, 1986 near Reedley, in the San Joaquin Valley of central California. The new variety was first asexually reproduced by grafting wood of the new variety onto Nemaguard rootstock in February, 1987. This was performed in Reedley, Calif. at the inventor's direction. The inventor has continued to observe the progeny of the new variety since 1987 and has confirmed that they are in all respects identical to the parent tree.
The "7-B" plum tree is characterized by producing semi-clingstone fruit which are very early maturing and of medium size having a uniform garnet purple skin coloration and ripening for commercial harvesting and shipment approximaely May 25 to June 8 in the San Joaquin Valley of central California. The new variety is most closely similar to the "Red Beaut" plum tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,539), but is distinguished therefrom in a number of respects including its abundant production of pollen substantitally enhancing its capability for setting a crop as compared with the "Red Beaut" plum variety.
In the top photograph:
A stem of fruiting wood in a stage of full bloom is depicted, and shows numerous blooms at a stage approaching anthesis, with petals, sepals and reproductive organs being illustrated in large scale.
In the bottom photograph:
The drawing is a color photograph showing mature fruit of the new variety of plum tree of the present invention including a first in bottom plan view showing the apex thereof; a second in side elevation; a third in side elevation showing the suture thereof; a fourth in top plan view showing the base thereof; a fifth sectioned and laid open to expose the flesh thereof and with the stone cavity exposed in one section and the stone in place in the other section thereof; and representative foliage, all of the new variety.
Referring more specifically to the pomological details of this new and distinct variety of plum tree, the following has been observed under the ecological conditions prevailing at the orchard of origin which is located near Sanger, Calif. All major color code designations are by reference to the Dictionary of Color, by Maerz and Paul, First Edition, 1930. Common color names are also occasionally employed.

Although the new variety of plum tree possesses the described characeristics noted above as a result of the growing conditions prevailing near in the central part of the San Joaquin Valley of California, it is to be understood that variations of the usual magnitude and characteristics incident to changes in growing conditions, irrigation, fertilization, pruning, pest control, climatic variation and the like are to be expected.
