Abstract

A new and distinct plum variety that possesses heavy and consistent production of large, firm, juicy fruit with an excellent eating quality. The fruit has a smooth, red-colored, slightly tart skin and yellow flesh color.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Prunus salicina.
Variety denomination: ‘Suplumthirtyfour’.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the discovery and asexual propagation of a new and distinct cultivar of Plum Tree, herein after referred to by the cultivar name ‘Suplumthirtyfour’. The variety originated by hybridization. The variety was first hybridized and selected by Bruce Mowrey. The new variety was first evaluated by David Cain on Sun World Experimental Ranch 75 near Wasco, Calif. in Kern County. The new variety is characterized by heavy and consistent production of large, firm fruit of about 65 mm in diameter. The fruit of ‘Suplumthirtyfour’ have a smooth, red-colored skin with a yellow flesh color, ripening during the first half of October in the Bakersfield, Calif. area. The eating quality of ‘Suplumthirtyfour’ fruit is excellent with 19° brix, plentiful juice, and slightly tart skin flavor.
The parent varieties were first crossed in 1993, with the date of planting of February, 1994, and the date of first flowering being March, 1996. The new plum variety was first asexually propagated by Terry Bacon near Wasco, Kern County, Calif. in December, 2001, by grafting onto Flordaguard rootstock.
The seed parent is Sun World breeding selection, ‘90P-072’ (unpatented), which was selected from a progeny of ‘Queen Anne’ (unpatented) crossed with pollen from ‘Simka’ (unpatented). The new variety is distinguished from its seed parent by ripening 10 days earlier and having round-shaped fruit as compared to elongated fruit for the seed parent. The pollen parent was an unknown Sun World breeding selection.
The new variety most nearly resembles ‘October Sun’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,827). It may be distinguished from ‘October Sun’ by having larger fruit (65 mm compared to 61 mm diameter with ‘October Sun’) and ripening 18 days later. Additionally, the new variety is clingstone while ‘October Sun’ is freestone.
The accompanying color photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new plum variety. The illustration shows the upper and lower surface of the leaves, an exterior and sectional view of a fruit divided across 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 new plum variety cv. ‘Suplumthirtyfour’ has been shown to maintain its distinguishing characteristics.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURE
The accompanying color photographic illustration in FIG. 1 shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new plum variety. The illustration shows the upper and lower surface of the leaves, an exterior and sectional view of a fruit divided across 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.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Throughout this specification, color names beginning with a small letter signify that the name of that color, as used in common speech, is aptly descriptive. Color names beginning with a capital letter designate values based upon The R.H.S. Colour Chart, published by The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England.
The descriptive matter which follows pertains to 8 year old trees grown in the vicinity of Wasco, Kern County, Calif., during 2002, and is believed to apply to plants of the variety grown under similar conditions of soil and climate elsewhere.
