  • Patent number: PP30184
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plum tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, hardy, and very productive tree. Being self-unfruitful, the present variety requires cross pollination from another plum or interspecific tree that blooms during the mid to late season, such as ‘Plumsweet XV’ interspecific tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,687). The present variety's abundance of blossoms and moderate pollen production entices strong bee activity to facilitate pollination. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during the first week of September, with first picking on Sep. 5, 2017. The fruit is uniform, very large in size, nearly black in skin color, clingstone in type, full yellow in flesh color, firm in texture, juicy, and excellent in flavor.

  • Patent number: PP30210
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plum tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a small size, medium vigorous, hardy, and very productive tree. Being self-unfruitful, the present variety requires cross pollination from an apricot, interspecific, or plum that blooms during the late season, such as ‘Plumred VII’ interspecific tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,688). The present variety produces a heavy amount of bloom with a moderate amount of pollen to entice good bee activity to facilitate pollination. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during the last part of September, with first picking on Sep. 25, 2017, and will hang on the tree an additional thirty days. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, dark purplish red in skin color, dark red in flesh color, clingstone in type, mostly ovate in shape, firm in texture, very sweet, and outstanding in flavor.
