PLUM TREE 2 SheetsSheet 2 Filed NOV. 13, 1967 United States Patent 2,938 PLUM TREE George R. McFeely, 332 Wilson Road, Yuba City, Calif. 95991 Filed Nov. 13, 1967, Ser. No. 682,684 Int. Cl. A01h 5/08 US. Cl. Plt.--38 1 Claim ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A variety of plug tree which has a prostrate or weeping habit of growth, and which tree bears edible, semifreestone fruit of relatively large size; the fruit having yellow flesh, and yellow skin substantially entirely overspread with red.
Origin of the variety The present new and distinct variety of plug tree was discovered by me growing, as a bud sport, on a Santa Rosa (unpatented) plum tree in an orchard located near Tudor, Sutter County, Calif. Upon my discovery of the variety, and continued observation by me of it in its original form as a bud sport, I recognized the characteristics which clearly distinguished it from the Santa Rosa and gave evidence of commercial desirability. I, therefore, determined to go forward with asexual reproduction of the variety, preparatory to commercialization thereof.
Asexual reproduction of the variety Asexual reproduction of the variety was accomplished by me, in my nursery located at Yuba City, Sutter County, California, by budding onto seedling stock. In maturity, such reproductions ran true to the original bud sport in all respects.
Summary of the variety The herein claimed variety of plum tree-which is otherwise substantially similar to the Santa Rosa-is particularly characterized as to novelty by a dropping or weeping habit of growth, with long, slender limbs which bow gracefully downward to adjacent the ground; this in contrast to the strong, upright growth of the Santa Rosa. The variety thus provides an extremely attractive tree for ornamental use.
While the variety is primarily useful as an ornamental tree, it does bear edible, semi-freestone fruit of relativelyv lrage size and dessert quality; the fruit having yellow flesh, and yellow skin substantially overspread with red but with many small yellow dots or speckles.
Brief description of the drawing One plate of the drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a twig with fruit and leaves; mature leaves and detached whole fruit being separately illustrated, along with one fruit cut in half to expose the flesh and with the stone remaining in one out half. The other plate of the drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in black and white, of the tree when dormant and leafless.

The plum tree and its fruit herein described may vary in slight detail due to climatic and soil conditions under which the variety may be grown; the persent description being of the variety as grown in the Central Valley of California.
I claim:
1. A new and distinct variety of plum tree, substantially as illustrated and described, whichwhile otherwise generally similar to the Santa Rosa-is characterized, in come parison, by a weeping habit of the growth, with long slender limbs which bow downward toward the ground; the tree bearing edible semi-freestone fruithaving yellow flesh, and yellow skin substantially entirely overspread with red.
