  • Patent number: PP23779
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an interspecific tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a small size, moderately 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 mid to late season. The present variety produces a very heavy bloom with an abundant amount of pollen to entice good bee activity to facilitate pollination. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during the first week of November, with first picking on Nov. 2, 2011. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, very deep red in skin color, clingstone in type, globose to slightly oblong in shape, yellow in flesh color, firm in texture, and excellent in flavor.
