Publication number: 20170172028Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2015Publication date: June 15, 2017Inventor: Lowell Glen Bradford
