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.
