Abstract
A new and distinct variety of plum tree which is medium to large size, medium vigorous, upright, and medium dense; foliated with medium size, mostly elliptical, some oblanceolate, leaves having a serrate margin, and globose glands; flowers from plump, free buds of medium to large size and length; and is a regular and productive bearer of large, clingstone, nearly globose fruit slightly flattened at the base and apex, the fruit having bluish-red skin and yellow flesh.
Description
1. Field of the Invention
In the field of plant genetics we conduct an extensive and continuing plant breeding program including the origination and asexual reproduction of orchard trees, and of which peaches, apricots, and plums are exemplary. It was against this background of our activities that the present variety of plum tree was originated and asexually reproduced by us in an experimental orchard located at Modesto, Stanislaus County, Calif.
2. Classification of the Variety
The present new and distinct variety of plum tree is embraced by Class 38, Plants, of the U.S. Patent Office Manual of Classification.
3. Prior Varieties
Among the existent varieties of plum trees which are known to us, and mentioned herein, are Santa Rosa (unpatented), and Royal Beaut (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,811).
The present variety of plum tree was originated by us, in the aforesaid experimental orchard, as an open-pollinated seedling of the Royal Beaut. A substantial number of seeds of the Royal Beaut were planted, and the resultant seedlings maintained under careful and continuing observation. In maturity, one of such seedlings, and which is the present variety, evidenced certain novel and distinctive characteristics and hence was selected for asexual reproduction in contemplation of potential commercialization.
The present variety of plum tree was asexually reproduced, in the aforesaid experimental orchard, by budding, and the reproductions ran true to the original tree and its fruit in all respects.
The present variety of plum tree is, characteristically, of medium to large size, medium vigorous, upright, and medium dense; foliated with medium size, mostly elliptical, some oblanceolate leaves having a serrate margin, and globose glands; flowers from plump, free buds of medium to large size and length; and is a regular and productive bearer of large, clingstone, nearly globose fruit slightly flattened at the base and apex, the fruit having bluish-red skin and yellow flesh.
The present variety of plum tree is further characterized by blooming with the Santa Rosa, but bears fruit which ripens approximately one week earlier.
The present variety of plum tree is still further characterized by firm flesh, clingstone fruit having a good flavor and very good storage, shipping, and eating qualities.
The present variety of plum tree is still further characterized by fruit which--throughout the tree--is nearly uniform in size, and relatively uniform in maturity.
The drawing comprises illustrations, by photographic reproduction in color, of typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the present variety of plum tree; such illustrations being of a twig with leaves, and separate fruit; one of the latter being cut in half to expose the flesh, with the stone remaining in one of the halves.
