  • Patent number: PP33353
    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, and productive tree. Being self-unfruitful, the present variety requires cross pollination from an apricot, interspecific, or plum that blooms during the mid season, such as ‘Santa Rosa’ plum tree (unpatented). The present variety produces a heavy amount of flowers that produce an abundance of pollen to entice good bee activity to facilitate pollination. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during mid June, with first picking on Jun. 10, 2020. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, dark red in skin color, full deep red in flesh color, clingstone in type, globose in shape, firm in texture, juicy, very sweet, and very good in flavor.
