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 ‘Suplumtwentyseven.’
- the new variety ‘Suplumtwentyseven’ originated by hybridization, being first hybridized by David Cain and selected by Terry Bacon. The new variety was first evaluated by Terry Bacon 75 near Wasco, Calif. in Kern County.
- the new variety is characterized by possessing fruit with a smooth black finish and golden-yellow flesh.
- the plums have ample juice and approximately 15° brix with acidic skin.
- the new variety exhibits consistent cropping of early-season, relatively large-sized fruit (approximately 66 mm) during the same season as ‘Black Beaut’ (unpatented) in Kern County.
- the seed parent of the new variety ‘Suplumtwentyseven’ is breeding selection ‘91P-060’ (unpatented), and the pollen parent is cultivar ‘Suplumtwentythree’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,167).
- the parent varieties were first crossed in February 1997, with the date of planting of February 1998, and the date of first flowering being February 2000.
- the new plum variety was first asexually propagated by Terry Bacon near Wasco, Kern County, Calif. in 2001, by budding onto ‘Nemared’ (unpatented) rootstock.
- the new variety ‘Suplumtwentyseven’ can be distinguished from its seed parent, ‘91P-060,’ and its pollen parent, ‘Suplumtwentythree,’ by having yellow flesh while both parents have red flesh.
- the new plum variety ‘Suplumtwentyseven’ may be distinguished from presently available cultivars in commerce by the following combination of characteristics: the new variety most nearly resembles the commercial plum, ‘Black Amber’ (unpatented) but ripens approximately 20 days earlier and has fruits that are larger (approximately 66 mm for ‘Suplumtwentyseven’ compared to approximately 58 mm for ‘Black Amber’). The fruits of the new variety ripen approximately five days earlier than the variety ‘Black Beaut.’ The fruits of the new variety are also larger than ‘Black Beaut’ (‘Black Beaut’ fruits average approximately 58 mm).
- the new variety ‘Suplumtwentyseven’ has been shown to maintain its distinguishing characteristics through successive asexual propagations by, for example, budding onto ‘Nemared’ (unpatented) rootstock.
- FIG. 1 shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the new plum variety ‘Suplumtwentyseven.’
- 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 ‘Suplumtwentyseven’ 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.
