  • Publication number: 20170172024
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plum tree, Prunus salicina, and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, and somewhat irregularly productive tree. Being self-unfruitful, the present variety requires cross pollination from another plum that blooms during the mid season, such as ‘Yummyrosa’ plum (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,476). The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in mid to late October, with first picking on Oct. 16, 2015, and has the ability to hang firm on the tree for another three weeks. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, full red in skin color, freestone in type, purely yellow in flesh color, very firm in texture, juicy, typically 22 to 24 brix, and excellent in flavor.

  • Publication number: 20170172033
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of peach tree, Prunus persica, broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The variety blooms during the early to mid season and requires about 500 chilling hours. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in the latter part of May, with first picking on May 23, 2015. The fruit is uniform, large in size, acidic with traditional peach flavor, globose to slightly oblate in shape, clingstone in type, non-melting in texture, yellow in flesh color, virtually full red in skin color, and has a bitter tasting kernel.

  • Publication number: 20170172027
    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. Being self-unfruitful, the present variety requires cross pollination from an apricot, interspecific, or plum that blooms during the mid season, such as ‘September Yummy’ plum (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,220). 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 late June, with first picking on Jun. 29, 2015, and will hang on the tree for at least fifteen more days. The fruit is uniformly large in size, yellow with heavy red dappling skin color, clingstone in type, heart shaped, full red in flesh color, very firm and crisp in texture, and very good in flavor.

  • Patent number: PP28400
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plum tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium to large 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 to late season, such as ‘September Yummy’ plum (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,220). The present variety produces a medium amount of bloom with plenty 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. 21, 2015, and will hang on the tree an additional twenty days. The fruit is uniformly medium to large in size, full red in skin color, full red in flesh color, semi-freestone in type, mostly oblate in shape, firm in texture, very sweet, and excellent in flavor.
