  • Patent number: PP28596
    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, moderately 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 tree (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 mid to late July, with first picking on Jul. 13, 2015, and will hang on the tree for at least three weeks. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, red over a green background with dark red dappling in skin color, clingstone in type, globose to oblate with some asymmetry in shape, full red in flesh color, very firm and crisp in texture, very sweet, and excellent in flavor.

  • Patent number: PP28685
    Abstract: A new and distinct Echeveria cultivar named ‘Dark Moon’ is disclosed, characterized by concentric rosettes comprised of an abundance of deep violet black leaves. The new cultivar is robust growing, as compared to other existing dark Echeverias, enabling increased and faster propagation of the cultivar. The new cultivar ‘Dark Moon’ is more resistant to disease and “shattering” (as occurs with summer stress syndrome, a disease of some Echeverias, particularly the dark-leaved varieties). The new variety is an Echeveria, part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Crassula, Graptopetalum, Pachyphytum, Sedum and others. Echeveria is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants for the patio or as landscape plants, as a variety of ornamental purposes.

  • Patent number: PP28745
    Abstract: A new and distinct Echeveria cultivar named ‘Galaxy Blue’ is disclosed, characterized by concentric rosettes comprised of an abundance of undulate, icy blue leaves tipped with crimson. Further, the new cultivar ‘Galaxy Blue’ freely offsets, enabling increased and faster propagation in the commercial nursery. The new cultivar ‘Galaxy Blue’ exhibits moderately fast, robust growth, which, in combination with freely offsetting results in attractive clusters at an early age, thereby enhancing production intervals. The new variety is an Echeveria, part of the Crassulaceae complex that includes Aeonium, Crassula, Graptopetalum, Pachyphytum, Sedum and others. Echeveria is a popular genus, typically produced as container plants for the patio or as landscape plants, as a variety of ornamental purposes.
