Interspecific tree named ‘Plumsweet IV’

Abstract

The present invention relates to an interspecific tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by large size, vigorous, hardy, and self-unfruitful but productive tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during mid September, with first picking on Sep. 15, 2003, and will hang on the tree for nearly twenty more days. The fruit is uniformly large in size, red over a greenish yellow background in skin color, clingstone in type, somewhat oblong in shape, yellow with some red bleeding in flesh color, very firm and crisp in texture, and outstanding in flavor.

1. A new and distinct variety of interspecific  Prunus  tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is similar to ‘YUMMYgiant’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,458) plum by being self-unfruitful and by producing fruit that is large in size, oblong in shape, and clingstone in type, but is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that is sweeter in flavor, that is firmer in texture, that matures about 45 days later, and that has a less percentage of red skin color with more yellow green background color present.
