Plum tree named ‘Kenmore Plum’

Abstract

A new a distinct variety of prune plum tree, Prunus domestica, originating as a hybrid seedling of the cross: ‘Standard’(non-patented)בStanley’(non-patented). This new variety is unique from its parents and other prune plums because it is has a freestone, non-shattering stone and flesh which processes very well yielding highly colored, high quality plum products. It is also more vigorous and pest tolerant than other commercial prune plum varieties grown at this time.

I claim:  
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of European-type plum tree,  Prunus domestica,  substantially as herein shown and described, characterized as to novelty by the unique combination of a free, non-shattering stone, highly colored processed plum products of excellent quality, with above average tolerance for black knot disease of the wood, brown rot tolerance of the blossoms and fruit, and European red mite tolerance of the leaves, and possessing fresh market eating quality and shipping/handling attributes that meet grade standards for this fruit.
