Definitions
- Prunus salicina Latin name of the genus and species claimed: Prunus salicina.
- the present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of plum tree, herein after referred to by the cultivar name ‘Suplumtwentyfive.’
- the new variety ‘Suplumtwentyfive’ originated by hybridization. The variety was hybridized and selected by David Cain. The new variety was first evaluated by David Cain and Terry Bacon in California's Coachella Valley, near Mecca, in Riverside County, Calif.
- the new variety ‘Suplumtwentyfive’ is characterized by having large (approximately 55-58 mm diameter), firm, and round fruits having a smooth black skin and amber-colored flesh.
- the flavor of the new variety is mildly sweet (14° brix), and the skin is mildly-tart.
- the new variety ‘Suplumtwentyfive’ has a relatively low winter chilling requirement of approximately 200 hours at or below 7.2° C.
- the new variety possesses heavy and regular fruit production in the mild-winter region of California's Coachella Valley, where harvest begins about May 5, approximately 20 days before ‘Red Beaut’ (unpatented) harvest begins in California's San Joaquin Valley.
- the seed parent of the new variety ‘Suplumtwentyfive’ is ‘90P-001’ (unpatented) which was selected from a progeny of ‘Suplumeighteen’ (U.S. Plant Pat No. 7443) crossed with pollen of ‘Ambra’ (unpatented).
- the parent varieties were first hybridized in 1996, with the date of planting of February, 1997, and the date of first flowering being February 1999.
- the pollen parent is an unknown low-chill plum variety.
- the new plum variety was first asexually propagated by Terry Bacon near Wasco, Kern County, Calif. in 2000, by budding onto ‘Flordaguard’ (unpatented) rootstock.
- the new variety ‘Suplumtwentyfive’ most nearly resembles its seed parent, ‘90P-001’ in that they both have black skin and amber-colored flesh. It differs from its seed parent by requiring approximately 200 C.U. in order to come out of winter dormancy and crop successfully. In contrast, the seed parent, ‘90P-001’ requires approximately 600 C.U. to bloom and crop successfully.
- the new variety may also be distinguished from its seed parent in that it does not have bitter skin when ripe, as compared to the bitter skin of ‘90P-001.’
- ‘Suplumtwentyfive’ also differs from the seed parent, ‘90P-001’ in that the fruit of ‘Suplumtwentyfive’ is more firm than the fruit of the seed parent.
- the new plum variety ‘Suplumtwentyfive’ may be distinguished from presently available cultivars in commerce by the following combination of characteristics: the new variety ‘Suplumtwentyfive’ most nearly resembles the ‘Ambra’ (unpatented) plum variety. It may be distinguished from ‘Ambra’ by requiring approximately 200 C.U. in order to come out of winter dormancy and crop successfully, while ‘Ambra’ requires approximately 500 winter C.U.
- the new variety ‘Suplumtwentyfive’ has been shown to maintain its distinguishing characteristics through successive asexual propagations by, for example, budding onto ‘Flordaguard’ rootstock.
- FIG. 1 shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the new plum tree variety ‘Suplumtwentyfive.’
- 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 variety ‘Suplumtwentyfive’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions.
- the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
