Abstract

A new and distinct plum tree variety, Prunus salicina, cv. ‘Suplumfortyone’ is characterized by red flesh color.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species claimed: Prunus salicina.
Variety denomination: ‘Suplumfortyone’.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to the discovery and asexual propagation of a new and distinct variety of plum, Prunus salicina cv. ‘Suplumfortyone’. The new variety was first hybridized in 2002 and selected in 2005 by Terry Bacon as breeder number: ‘PL525RB’. The new variety was first evaluated by Terry Bacon near Wasco, Calif. in Kern County. The variety ‘Suplumfortyone’ was originated by hybridization.
The new variety ‘Suplumfortyone’ is characterized by red flesh color.
The seed parent is ‘Suplumtwentyfive’ (the subject of U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,888), and the pollen parent is an unknown plum in the breeding population. The parent varieties were first crossed in February of 2002, with the date of planting of the progeny being February 2003, and the date of first flowering being February 2005. The new plum variety ‘Suplumfortyone’ was first asexually propagated by Terry Bacon near Wasco, Kern County, Calif. in May 2005, by budding.
The new variety ‘Suplumfortyone’ is distinguished from its seed parent, ‘Suplumtwentyfive’, in that the new variety has red flesh color while ‘Suplumtwentyfive’ has amber flesh color.
The new variety ‘Suplumfortyone’ has a similar ripening time as ‘Earliqueen’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,583), but the new variety has red flesh color while ‘Earliqueen’ has amber flesh color. The new variety ‘Suplumfortyone’ also has a similar ripening time as ‘Suplumtwentythree’ (U.S. Plant Patent No. 13,167), but the new variety reaches full bloom at about February 12th, while ‘Suplumtwentythree’ reaches full bloom at about March 1st.
The new variety ‘Suplumfortyone’ has been shown to maintain its distinguishing characteristics through successive asexual propagations by, for example, budding.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying color photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new plum variety ‘Suplumfortyone’. 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 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
