Description
Botanical designation: Interspecific Prunus species.
Variety denomination: ‘PISMO’.
In the field of plant genetics, we conduct an extensive and continuing plant-breeding program including the organization and asexual reproduction of orchard trees, and of which plums, peaches, nectarines, apricots, cherries, almonds and interspecifics are exemplary. It was against this background of our activities that the present variety of interspecific tree was originated and asexually reproduced by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Stanislaus County, Calif.
Among the existing varieties of plum, apricot and interspecific trees, which are known to us, and mentioned herein, ‘Coral-Cot’ Interspecific (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,563), our proprietary non-patented apricot seedling selection ‘311LN217’ and our proprietary non-patented interspecific seedling selections ‘11ME474’ and ‘39ZD1053’.
Not applicable.
The new variety of interspecific tree, a combination of crosses between Prunus armeniaca and Prunus salicina was originated by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif. from an open pollinated, non-patented interspecific seedling selection with the field identification number ‘11ME474’. The seed parent (11ME474) originated as a first generation seedling from a cross between our proprietary non-patented apricot seedling ‘311LN217’ and our proprietary non-patented interspecific seedling ‘39ZD1053’. A large number of these open pollinated seedlings were budded onto established trees of ‘Nemaguard’ Rootstock (non-patented) to enhance earlier fruit production. Under close and careful observation the present seedling exhibited desirable fruit and tree characteristics and was selected in 2011 for additional asexual propagation and commercialization.
In 2011 asexual reproduction of the new and distinct variety of interspecific tree was by budding to ‘Nemaguard’ Rootstock (non-patented), as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., and shows that reproductions run true to the original tree and all characteristics of the tree and its fruit are established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations.
The new and distinct variety of interspecific tree Apricot×[(Plum×Plumcot)×(Apricot×PlumCot)×(Plum×PlumCot)] is of large size, semi-spreading growth and a regular and productive bearer of medium to large size, orange flesh, freestone fruit with good flavor and eating quality. The fruit is further characterized by having an attractive orange/red skin color and having good storage and shipping quality. In comparison to its non-patented interspecific seed parent (11ME474) the fruit of the new variety has orange flesh compared to yellow and is approximately 14 days earlier in maturity. In comparison to the commercial variety ‘Coral-Cot’ Interspecific (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,563) the fruit of the new variety has a more attractive orange/red skin color and has improved flavor.
The accompanying color photographic illustration shows typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present new interspecific variety.
The illustration shows the upper and lower surface of the leaves, an exterior and sectional view of a single fruit divided in 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) from a 5 year old tree and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.

No atypical resistances/susceptibilities have been noted under normal cultural practices.
The present new variety of interspecific tree, its flowers foliage and fruit herein described may vary in slight detail due to climate, soil conditions and cultural practices under which the variety may be grown. The present description is that of the variety grown under the ecological conditions prevailing near Modesto, Calif.
