INTERSPECIFIC TREE NAMED ' BLACKRED IX '

摘要

The present invention relates to an interspecific tree and more particularly to a medium size, vigorous, hardy, and productive tree. Being self-unfruitful, the present variety requires cross pollination from an apricot, interspecific, or plum that blooms during the late season. The present variety produces a very heavy bloom, but is pollen deficient and should have pollinators grafted in the center of the tree to entice good bee activity for sufficient pollination. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described during the latter part of August, with first picking on Aug. 29, 2011. The fruit is uniformly large in size, dark purplish red in skin color, clingstone in type, globose in shape, full red in flesh color, firm in texture, and very good in flavor.
