Abstract: The present invention relates to a plum tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, and medium productive tree, which requires cross pollinization. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in late May, with first picking on May 26th, 1990, and is uniformly medium in size, clingstone in type, deep red to purplish red in skin color, attractive in shape, deliciously sweet in flavor, and exceptionally firm in texture, resulting in excellent quality for keeping and shipping. The variety was developed as an open pollinated seedling of an unnamed seedling.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of interspecific (Plum.times.Plum Cot) tree which has the following unique combination of desirable features:1. A large, vigorous, semi-upright tree.2. Regular and heavy production of medium size fruit.3. Mature fruit has firm flesh, good shelf life and shipping quality.4. Fruit with excellent flavor and eating quality.5. Fruit with an attractive red skin color.6. The fruit becoming fully tree ripe while maintaining firm flesh with a good balance between acid and sugar.7. Flavor of fruit being distinctively different, a blend between plum and apricot with a lingering after taste.8. Fruit with high soluble solids (brix) averaging approximately 18 degrees on the refractometer.9. Fruit maintaining firmness on tree for approximately 2 weeks after maturity.10. Precocious production of fruit, usually producing fruit in the second year after planting.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of plum tree which is somewhat remotely similar to the "Santa Rosa" plum tree (unpatented) from which it was derived, but from which it is distinguished by producing uniformly larger fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately the same time as that of the "Santa Rosa" plum tree but which exhibit a superior holding ability, as compared with that of the "Santa Rosa" plum tree and having a generally redder flesh coloration.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of plum tree which is somewhat remotely similar to the "Red Beaut" plum tree with which it is most closely related and from which it was derived, but from which it is distinguished by producing fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately 5 days prior to the fruit of the "Red Beaut" plum tree.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of plum tree producing fruit of reddish coloration which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately the second week in September in the San Joaquin Valley of central California approximately seven days prior to the fruit produced by the "Roysum" plum tree and which have a pleasing low acid taste with a distinct depression in the suture and good shipping and handling characteristics.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of plum tree producing fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately June 1 in the San Joaquin Valley of central California approximately five to seven days before "Black Beaut" plum tree and which are very slightly rounded with a mild taste and distinct aroma with good shipping and handling characteristics.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of plum tree producing fruit of catawba coloration which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately the first week in August in the San Joaquin Valley of central California approximately two weeks after "Friar" plum tree and which have a mild, subacid taste with a pronounced pistil point and good shipping and handling characteristics.

Abstract: A new plum tree of medium vigor, vase to spreading form, which bears blemish free cling stone fruit of attractive, uniform green exterior color with darker patterns of green flecks over a yellowish-green ground color at harvest, and which is of rounded shape, sweet subacid taste, and pronounced aroma and being ready for harvest in the last week of May when grown in the Reedley area of Fresno, Calif. Fruit is of excellent eating and shipping quality due to even ripening of light yellow flesh which has a few fibers and substantially uniform flesh color.

Abstract: A plum tree named Compact Friar similar to Friar plum, of which it is a mutation, but distinguished by dwarf size of the tree.

Regular and heavy bearing of large size fruit.3. Fruit holding firm on the tree 10 to 14 days after picking ripe.4. Relatively uniform ripening of fruit throughout the tree.5. Fruit with good flavor and eating quality.6. Fruit having very good storage and shipping quality.
