Abstract

A new and distinct variety of plumcot tree (apricot×plum) which is a heavy and regular producer of fruit; with half-open growth habit; producing firm, dark red fruit overspread with yellowish spots; with the fruit having good handling and shipping qualities, high brix values (18% average), excellent flavor and eating quality, and purplish red to dark flesh; the fruit ripening in middle season (late July); the stone being very small; and the fruit being semi-clingstone.

Description

ORIGIN OF THE VARIETY
The new and distinct variety of plumcot (apricot×plum) tree was originated by me in my orchard, which is located near JungPyong, KeoSan, ChungBuk, Korea, from seedlings selected from a large numer (about 1500 seeds) of seedlings obtained from native Apricot (Prunus armeniaca) seeds in HeongSung, Kangwondo, Korea, that resulted from open-pollinated flowers near a native plum (Prunus domestica) tree. These seedlings were grown under careful observation by me, giving the characteristics of the apricot, except for two trees. One of these two seedlings is the present variety of plumcot tree, this particular seedling having shown the specially desirable and novel characteristics of a plumcot. I propagated the selected hybrid variety in anticipation of ultimate introduction to the fruit growing industry.
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION OF THE VARIETY
The present variety of plumcot tree was asexually reproduced by me in my experimental orchard by budding, and all reproductions run true to the original tree in all respects.
SUMMARY OF THE VARIETY
The present new and distinct variety of plumcot tree has been denominated `Miwang`, and is of medium size, half open growth and is a regular and productive bearer of medium, red skin with yellowish spots, dark red to red purple flesh, semi-clingstone fruit with a mild, very sweet flavor with excellent eating and stock quality. The fruit is further characterized by having firm flesh, the ability to remain on the tree 7 to 10 days after maturity (shipping ripe), having good handling and shipping quality, a red skin ground color overspread with attractive yellowish spots and ripening in the middle maturity season, approximately 20 to 30 days after native plums, which are grown in Korea such as Jadusalgu, Notably, the stone of the fruit is about 2/3 smaller than that of the native plum, and so the flesh of the fruit of the present invention is especially abundant for a fruit of this size, since the stone is small. The new plumcot variety is pollinated by bees.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographs show typical specimens of the fruit and foliage of my new variety tree.
FIG. 1 shows a typical specimen of the foliage and fruit of the new and distinct plumcot variety;
FIG. 2 depicts the fruit, whose illustration was taken shortly after being picked (firm ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type;
FIG. 3 shows a fruit divided in its suture plane to reveal flesh coloration, and a stone remaining in place;
FIG. 4 shows the shape of a leaf of the new plumcot on the left and of a native plum leaf on the right, wherein the width of the plumcot leaf is narrower than that of the native plum leaf; and
FIG. 5 shows a leaf blade of the present plumcot (left) and a plum (right), wherein the leaf blade of the present plumcot is smoother than that of the native plum near the leaf stalks and the leaf stalk of the present plumcot is shorter than that of the native plum leaf stalk.
The colors in the photographs are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in color representations of this type.
