- the present variety of plum tree is large, vigorous, upright to spreading, foliated with large to medium size obovate leaves, and a productive bearer of uniform, large to medium size, globose, clingstone fruit having red skin and bistre green flesh; the varietywhich in general resembles the Red Beautbeing, in comparison, essentially characterized, as to novelty, by fruit which is somewhat larger, more nearly round in shape, brighter red in exterior color, and ripens about three to five days later.

PLUM TREE .Filed Aug. 16, 1973 United States Patent 3,618 PLUM TREE Frederic W. Anderson, Merced, Califi, assignor to Reedley Nursery, line, Reedley, Calif. Filed Aug. 16, 1973, Ser. No. 388,976 Int. Cl. Atblh 5 03 U.S. Cl. Plt.38 1 Claim ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A plum tree which is large, vigorous, upright to spreading, foliated with large to medium size obovate leaves, and a productive bearer of uniform, large to medium size, globose, clingstone fruit having red skin and bistre green flesh.
Background of the Variety: Over a substantial number of years I have engaged in an extensive and continuing plant breeding program at my experimental nursery and orchard located near Le Grand, Merced County, Calif; one purpose of such program being to provide improved varieties of fruit trees. The present variety of plum tree resulted from my endeavors in the conduct of such plant breeding program.
Origin of the Variety: The present variety of plum tree was originated by me, in my experimental nursery and orchard located as aforesaid, as an open-pollinated seedling of the Red Beaut (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,539).
Asexual Reproduction of the Variety: Upon recognition by me of the new and distinct characteristics of the present variety of plum tree, I asexually reproduced it by grafting on mature orchard trees in my said experimental orchard, and, in maturity, such reproductions ran true to the original tree in all respects.
Summary of the Variety: The present variety of plum tree is large, vigorous, upright to spreading, foliated with large to medium size obovate leaves, and a productive bearer of uniform, large to medium size, globose, clingstone fruit having red skin and bistre green flesh; the varietywhich in general resembles the Red Beautbeing, in comparison, essentially characterized, as to novelty, by fruit which is somewhat larger, more nearly round in shape, brighter red in exterior color, and ripens about three to five days later.
Brief Description of the Drawing: The drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, of a twig with leaves, and separate fruit; one of the latter being cut in half with the stone remaining in one half.
