Plum tree

Abstract

A plum tree which is of medium size, medium vigor, spreading, dense, and round-topped; foliated with medium size, obovate, medium pointed, medium thick, smooth-textured leaves having a crenate margin, a petiole medium in length and thickness, and small, irregularly opposite, globose glands; flowers from pointed, free buds of medium size and length; the flowers, of medium season, being medium size and white; and is a regular and very productive bearer of medium size, uniform, symmetrical, globose, semi-freestone fruit having dark purple skin, red flesh, and a brownish-yellow stone.

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 semi-freestone fruit which ripens about with, and most nearly resembles, the fruit of the Eldorado, but, in comparative distinction, the globose fruit of the present variety has red flesh, whereas the oblate fruit of the Eldorado has yellow flesh.
