Interspecific tree named ‘Blackred I’

Abstract

The present invention relates to an interspecific tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, hardy, and productive tree. The variety is self-unfruitful, blooms during the early season, and produces an abundance of blossoms and pollen. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during early June, with first picking on Jun. 1, 2007. The fruit is uniformly medium, in size, nearly black in skin color, clingstone in type, oblate in shape, full red in flesh color, firm and crisp in texture, and good in flavor.

1. A new and distinct variety of interspecific  Prunus  sp. tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is similar to ‘YUMMY® gem’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,809) plum by being self-unfruitful, by blooming during the early season, and by producing fruit that is almost black in skin color, but is distinguished therefrom by producing fruit that is larger in size, oblate instead of globose in shape, and fully red in flesh color instead of yellow.
