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 very productive tree. The variety is self-unfruitful and blooms during the mid season. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during early August, with first picking on Aug. 3, 2007, and will hang on the tree for about fifteen more days. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, mostly yellow in skin color, clingstone in type, globose to ovate in shape, orange yellow in flesh color, firm in texture, and excellent 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 ‘Plumsweet IV’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,461) interspecific tree by being self-unfruitful, by blooming during the mid season, and by producing fruit that is excellent in flavor, but is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that is globose to ovate instead of oblong in shape, that has a less pronounced suture, that is yellow instead of mottled in skin color, and that matures about twenty-five days earlier.
