Abstract
The present invention relates to an interspecific tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, medium vigorous, hardy, and very productive tree. Being self-unfruitful, the present variety requires cross pollination from an apricot, interspecific, or plum that blooms during the mid season. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during early September, with first picking on Sep. 8, 2011. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, full red in skin color, semi-clingstone in type, globose in shape, yellowish white in flesh color, firm in texture, and mildly sweet with a hint of coconut in flavor.
Show the legal claimThe single numbered claim as granted — the legal text that defines what this patent covers.
I claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of interspecific Prunus sp. tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘September Yummy®’ plum (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,220) by producing fruit that is full red in skin color, juicy, firm, globose in shape, semi-freestone in type, sweet in flavor, and that matures in mid September, but is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that is somewhat smaller in size, that is white instead of mostly yellow in flesh color, and that has a unique coconut tasting flavor.
