Abstract

A Japanese-type plum tree characterized by its low winter chilling adaptation to central and north Florida, early May ripening of dark red skin fruit and regular, high annual fruit production.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of plum tree, substantially as illustrated and described, which is vigorous, large, and semi spreading in growth and is adapted to central and north Florida producing annual crops of medium size, clingstone fruit with full red skin and pale yellow flesh, ripening a week before `Gulfruby` and having firm flesh with good shipping characteristics for its intended fresh market use.
