Interspecific tree named ‘Black Majesty IV’

Abstract

The present invention relates to a 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 to late season. The present variety produces a very heavy bloom with a moderate amount of pollen to entice good bee activity to facilitate pollination. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during the latter half of July, with first picking on Jul. 23, 2011. The fruit is uniformly large in size, blackish red in skin color, clingstone in type, fairly globose in shape, orange to yellow in flesh color, firm in texture, and sweet in flavor.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of interspecific tree, substantially as illustrated and described, that is most similar to ‘Blackred III’ interspecific (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,668) by being self-unfruitful and by producing fruit that is nearly black in skin color, that is similar in size, that is juicy and firm, and that is sweet, but is distinguished therefrom by flowering much later and by producing fruit that is almost entirely yellow instead of pink in flesh color, and that matures about five days earlier.
