Plum tree, Gar-Red

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Plum Tree, denominated varietally as "Gar-Red" and which is characterized as to novelty by a date of maturity for commercial harvesting and shipment of approximately August 10 through August 15 under the ecological conditions prevailing in Fresno, Calif., in the central part of the San Joaquin Valley of central California.

Having thus described and illustrated my new variety of plum tree, what is new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of plum tree, substantially as illustrated and described and which produces fruit which are somewhat remotely similar to the fruit borne by the Gar Fantasy Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,178) but which is distinguished therefrom and characterized principally as to novelty by bearing semi-freestone fruit which are ripe for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately August 10 through August 15 under the ecological conditions prevailing in Fresno, Calif., the subject variety producing fruit which have an attractive light red skin color, and a pink colored flesh.
