Plum tree

Abstract

A plum tree which is of medium size, medium vigor, upright-spreading, open, and round-topped; foliated with medium size, obovate, abruptly pointed leaves having a crenate margin, and small, green, opposite, globose glands; flowers from pointed, free buds of medium size and length; the flowers being medium in season, medium size, and white; and is a regular and very productive bearer of large, globose, symmetrical, semi-freestone fruit uniform both in size and form, the fruit having burgundy red skin, red flesh with a yellow tinge near the base, and a red pit cavity.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of plum tree, substantially as illustrated and described, particularly characterized by the regular and very productive bearing of large, globose, symmetrical, semi-freestone fruit uniform both in size and form, the fruit having burgundy red skin, red flesh with a yellow tinge near the base, and a red pit cavity; the fruit, of mild, delicate flavor, most nearly resembling the yellow-flesh fruit of the Queen Ann but ripens approximately a week earlier, and also somewhat earlier than the red-flesh fruit of the Frontier.
