Definitions
- the fruit of this tree is about the same size and color as a good Italian prune, although it is slightly more pointed than the ordinary Italian prune. It is a free-stone prune with an unusually small seed.
- this prune tree is hardier than other Italian prune trees, better able to withstand unfavorable weather conditions, and heavier bearing.
- this prune tree has averaged two bushels of prunes per tree, while the average crop from my orchard of ordinary Italian prune trees during the same period was three-fourths of a bushel per tree.
- the blossoms of this tree are easily distinguished from the blossoms of the ordinary Italian prune tree.
- the blossoms of this tree appear from one week to ten days earlier than on ordinary Italian prune trees, and come two to a bud instead of in clusters, and are more evenly distributed over the entire branch.
- the blossoms are whiter and the petals thicker, heavier and whiter, and the blossoms appear in greater numher than on ordinary Italian prune trees. This dilference is very noticeable especially when a group of these trees appears next to a group of ordinary Italian prune trees, and this difference can be distinguished from quite a distance.
- the leaf resembles the leaf of an ordinary Italian prune tree except that it is slightly less pointed and has a tendency to be slightly lighter in color.
- Fig. 1 shows the fruit itself
- Fig. 2 shows the prune leaf
- Fig. 3 shows a portion of a branch with the blossoms appearing thereon.
- This new prune tree originated with a seedling grown near Forest Grove, Oregon, and my attention was called to this original tree by the unusual characteristics of its prunes several years ago. At that time the prunes from this seedling, together with the prunes from the other trees in the same and adjacent orchards were delivered to me for drying. Upon making tests of the dried prunes, I was immediately impressed with the diiference between the prunes from this particular tree and the prunes from the other trees, and thereupon for the next two years I watched this tree carefully and verified the continuance of the distinguishing features mentioned above. I then proceeded to propagate the tree by cutting buds from it and grafting these buds on plum, prune and peach seedlings.
- the dried prunes of these trees due chiefly to their high sugar content, have proven to be superior for packing, shipping, storage, canning and eating than dried prunes from the other Italian prune trees grown in this same section of the country.
- Italian prune is to be understood as referring to the ordinary Italian prune as distinguished from such types of prunes as the date prune,
