PRUNE TREE Filed Dec. 23, 1974 United States atent Plant Pat. 3,862 Patented Apr. 13, 1976 US. Cl. Plt-38 1 Claim ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A prune tree, of French type, which is large, medium vigorous, upright, dense, vase-formed, hardy, 'foliated with an above average number per spur of medium size,
ovate, abruptly pointed, thick, rugose leaves, and a regular and veryproductivebearer-of early ripening,-medium size, symmetrical, oblong, clingstone 'fruit having dark blue skin and yellow flesh.
BACKGROUND. OF ,THE VARIETY As an agricultural engineer and'an'orchardist, it is my practice to-maintain'my orchard, located at Le Temple Sur Lot, France, under continuing observation, and-during an inspection thereof'I discovered the present variety.
ORIGIN OF THE VARIETY The present variety of prune tree originated as a natural limb mutation on a normal -Agen prune tree growingin my orchard located as aforesaid. On an occasion when inspecting the trees in such orchard, I observed that a limb of one tree bore fruit which had ripened substantially earlier than the fruit on other limbs. Upon such discovery of said mutation limb, I determined to undertake asexual reproduction of such mutation, and which reproduction was thereafter accomplished.
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION OF THE VARIETY The present variety of prune tree was first asexually reproduced by me, in my nursery at Le Temple Sur Lot, France, by spring budding as well as grafting on a mature prune tree, and such reproduction ran true to the original mutation (parent) limb in all respects.
SUMMARY OF THE VARIETY The present variety of prune tree is large, medium vigorous, upright, dense, vase-formed, hardy, foliated with an above average number per spur of medium size, ovate, abruptly pointed, thick, rugose leaves, and a regular and very productive bearer of early ripening, medium size, symmetrical, oblong, clingstone fruit having dark blue skin and yellow flesh; the variety, in comparison with the normal Agen prune tree (e.g., Ente 707), being more compact and more upright in tree growth, and the fruit ripening about eight to ten days earlier with no fruit fall before the harvest, almost all fruit being harvested at the same time, and the fruit having a smaller stone and a higher sugar content.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The drawing is an illustration, by photographic rep-roduction in color, showingin one view-a twig with leaves and fruit, and-in another view-the same but with certain fruit cut to expose the flesh and stone.
