Abstract
A new and distinct variety of interspecific (plum×plum cot) tree which has the unique combination of the following desirable features:
1. Excellent flavor and eating quality.
2. Fruit having a high soluble solids, average Brix 17.4.
3. Heavy and regular production of large size fruit.
4. Vigorous upright growth.
5. Fruit with good shipping and storage quality.
6. Relatively uniform size of fruit throughout the tree.
Description
The present new and distinct variety of interspecific tree was originated by use in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., as a cross between a plum selection with the identification No. 58GA338 and a plum cot selection of unknown parentage. The plum selection with the identification No. 58GA338 originated from a cross between Laroda Plum (non-patented) and Queen Ann Plum (non-patented). A large group of seedlings were planted and grown under careful observation by us and one such seedling which represents the present variety, being especially desirable for its fruit quality was selected for asexual reproduction and commercialization.
Asexual reproduction of the new and distinct variety of interspecific tree was reproduced by budding, as performed by us in our experimental orchard located near Modesto, Calif., which shows that all characteristics of the tree and its fruit run true to the original tree and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.
The new and distinct variety of interspecific tree (Plum×Plum Cot) is of large size, vigorous upright in growth and is a productive and regular bearer of large size, clingstone fruit. The fruit is further characterized as being of a relatively uniform size throughout the tree, having firm flesh with good storage and shipping quality, being excellent in flavor and eating quality and having high soluble solids (average 17.4 Brix).
The accompanying color photographs show typical specimens of the foliage and fruit of the new interspecific tree. The illustrations show the upper and lower surface of the leaves, the exterior and sectional view of the fruit divided in the suture plane to reveal flesh coloration and a stone remaining in place. The photographic illustrations were taken shortly after the fruit was picked (firm ripe) and the colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
The following is a botanically detailed description of the new interspecific tree, its flowers, foliage and fruit, as based on observation of the specimens grown near Modesto, Calif., with color terminology (except those in common terms) in accordance with Reinhold Color Atlas by A. Kornerup and J. H. Wanscher.
