Скачать или смотреть Not Segundo

A bit of an evaluation of a new plum tree I grafted last year that was supposed to be Segundo (Chickasaw X Asian) hybrid plum from the USDA research station in Byron Georgia. I'm very confident that this plum is not Segundo. Segundo is supposed to be super soft and watery when ripe. This strain also bloomed earlier than Segundo should have bloomed relative to Robusto. I know that these plums look a lot like Santa Rosa, which I forgot to mention in the video, but it blooms way too early in spring to be Santa Rosa. Whatever it is, it has a super low chilling requirement.

The fruit ripens sweet with some definite tartness. It's quite firm when fall off the tree ripe. The leaves look similar to those of Gulf Series plums from the University of Florida. It fits the description of Gulf Blaze the best of any strain I know about, but the skin isn't quite dark enough to completely fit the description of Gulf Blaze. It's also not freestone.
