Title: ´Gulfrose` Plum
Authors: W.B. Sherman and P.M. Lyrene
Abstract:
'Gulfrose' is a low-chill requirement
Japanese-type plum (Prunus salicina
Lindl.) released by the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station.
It is adapted to central and north Florida where 'Gulfblaze'
and 'Gulfbeauty' are adapted (2). Trees
produce an attractive, aromatic and sweet
tasting, blood flesh fruit with good firmness and shelf life. 'Gulfrose' originated
from an open-pollination of 'Gulfruby.' Its
blood flesh may trace to 'Methley,' a blood
plum in the parentage of the original polycross
and selections that followed (1,3), or
to 'Mariposa,' a blood plum in the planting
with 'Gulfruby' when seed were harvested.
It was selected in 1995 and tested as
Fla. 95-4.
