Plum tree named ‘Black Majesty III’

Abstract

The present invention relates to a plum tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size, vigorous, hardy, and productive tree. Being self-unfruitful, the present variety requires cross pollination from a plum that blooms during the early season. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during mid July, with first picking on Jul. 9, 2010. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, blackish purple in skin color, clingstone in type, oblate to cordate in shape, brilliant greenish yellow in flesh color, firm in texture, and mildly sweet in flavor.

1. A new and distinct variety of plum tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is similar to ‘Yummyrosa’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,476) plum by being productive, by being self-unfruitful, and by producing fruit that is medium in size, sweet in flavor, mostly oblate in shape, and clingstone in type but is distinguished therefrom by flowering in the early instead of mid season and by producing fruit that is almost entirely yellow in flesh color without red bleeding, that is much less prone to dropping, and that matures about seven days later.
