Abstract
The present invention relates to a plum tree, Prunus salicina , and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, hardy, self-unfruitful, and productive tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the third week in June, with first picking on Jun. 19, 2001. The fruit is uniformly large in size, good in flavor, oblate in shape, clingstone in type, spongy in texture, yellow in flesh color, and bright red in skin color. The variety was developed from an open pollinated seed from an unnamed red plum.
