Abstract

The present invention relates to a plum tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, and productive tree that is self-unfruitful and requires cross pollination. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during late August, with the first picking on Aug. 22, 2006, and will hang on the tree for about fifteen more days. The fruit is uniformly medium to large in size, full red in skin color, clingstone in type, globose to somewhat oblong in shape, mostly yellow in flesh color, very firm in texture, and very 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 plum tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘September YUMMY®’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,220) plum by being self-unfruitful and by producing fruit that is full red in skin color, medium to large in size, and somewhat oblong in shape, but is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that is purer yellow in flesh color, that is clingstone instead of semi-freestone, that is somewhat sweeter in flavor, and that matures about three weeks earlier.
