Abstract
A new and distinct variety of Interspecific tree (Prunus salicina×(Prunus salicina×Prunus armeniaca)! which has the following unique combination of desirable features:
1. Heavy and regular production of fruit.
2. Fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality.
3. Early maturity of fruit.
4. Large tree size with vigorous, upright growth.
5. Precocious production of fruit, usually producing fruit in the second year after planting.
6. Fruit with an attractive blackish, violet skin color.
7. Fruit with firm flesh and good shipping quality.
Description
The new and distinct variety of interspecific tree was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a first generation cross between two seedling selections with field identification numbers 65EC664 and 42GA580. The maternal parent (65EC664) originated from an open pollinated Royal Zee Plum (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,486) seed. The paternal parent (42GA580), which is a plum cot, originated as a seedling selection from a seed of an open pollinated Red Beaut Plum (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,539) tree that had been grown from budwood which had been irradiated with cobalt. The new interspecific variety was selected from a large group of first generation seedlings which were grown and maintained by us, one such seedling having especially desirable fruit characteristics was selected for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
Asexual reproduction of the new and distinct variety of interspecific tree was by budding, as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and shows that all characteristics of the tree and its fruit run true to the original tree and are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations.
A new and distinct variety of interspecific tree (plum×plum cot) which is of large size, vigorous, upright growth; and a heavy and productive bearer of large, clingstone fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality. Further characterized to its novelty is its firm, dark ruby red flesh; having a good balance between sugar and acid with an average Brix of 16°; having good handling and shipping quality; and having an attractive blackish, violet skin color. In comparison to the interspecific variety Flavor Supreme (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,763), the new variety has darker flesh and skin color, is flatter in shape and is approximately 19 days earlier in maturity.
The accompanying color photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new interspecific variety. The illustration shows the upper and lower surface of the leaves, an exterior and sectional view of a fruit divided in its suture plane to show flesh color, pit cavity and the stone remaining in place. The photographic illustration was taken shortly after being picked (shipping ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The following is a detailed botanical description of the new variety of interspecific tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit, as based on observations of specimens grown near Modesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common terms) in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
