Interspecific tree named ‘Plumsweet XIV’

Abstract

The present invention relates to an interspecific tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium size, moderately vigorous, hardy, and productive tree. Being self-unfruitful, the present variety requires cross pollination from an apricot, interspecific, or plum that blooms during the mid season. The present variety's abundance of blossoms and moderate pollen production entices strong bee activity to facilitate pollination. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during late July, with first picking on Jul. 25, 2011, and will hang on the tree for at least fifteen more days. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, red over a green background in skin color, clingstone in type, globose in shape, full red in flesh color, very firm and crisp in texture, and excellent in flavor.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of interspecific  Prunus  sp. tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘Plumsweet XI’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,796) interspecific tree by being self-unfruitful and producing fruit that is sweet and excellent in flavor, red in primary skin color, and clingstone in type, but is quite distinguished therefrom by blooming about 7 days later and by producing fruit that is globose instead of oblate in shape, that has more green in the background skin color, and that matures about twenty-two days later.
