Abstract
The present invention relates to an interspecific tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, hardy, and productive tree. The present variety has a heavy bloom during the mid season, is self-unfruitful, and must be cross pollinated by a mid seasonal blooming apricot, plum or other interspecific tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during late June, with first picking on Jun. 23, 2007, and will hang on the tree for about fifteen more days. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, mostly red with greenish yellow mottling in skin color, clingstone in type, globose in shape, full red in flesh color, very firm and crisp in texture, and excellent in flavor.
