Plum tree named 'Yummycrisp'

摘要

The present invention relates to a plum tree, Prunus salicina, and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, heavy blooming, pollen abundant, self-unfruitful, and usually productive tree. The present variety requires cross pollinization from another early blooming plum, such as 'Yummybeaut' (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,478). The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during late July, with first picking on Jul. 25, 2002, but will hang on the tree for nearly thirty more days. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, nearly black in skin color, clingstone in type, yellow with some pink bleeding in flesh color, very firm and crisp in texture, excellent in flavor, and holds well in cold storage for more than thirty days. The present variety was developed from an open pollinated seedling of an unnamed black plum.
