Abstract
The present invention relates to an interspecific tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, and moderately productive tree. Being self-unfruitful, the present variety requires cross pollination from an apricot, interspecific, or plum that blooms during the early season. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during July, with first picking on Jul. 5, 2008. The fruit is uniformly small in size, mostly reddish brown skin color, clingstone in type, ovate to globose in shape, orange yellow in flesh color, firm in texture, and extremely sweet in flavor.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
1. A new and distinct variety of interspecific Prunus sp. tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is similar to its seed parent, ‘Yummygem’ plum (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,809), by being a large tree, by blooming in the early season, by producing an abundance of pollen, and by producing fruit that is small in size, firm in texture, mostly red to reddish brown in skin color, and almost globose in shape, but is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that is much sweeter with a hint of apricot flavor, that has apricot-like orange yellow flesh, and that matures about twenty-five days later.
