  • Plum tree named ‘Plumcandy XIII’
    Patent number: PP28468
    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.

    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.

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.
