Burbank devoted a lot of work to hybridizing two plum species, the apricot plum or Simon plum Prunus simonii and the Japanese plum Prunus salicina. He developed a number of cultivars from the hybrid, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] of which 'Climax' was particularly notable for its importance to the fruit shipping industry of California.
Prunus subcordata is an erect deciduous shrub or small tree growing to 8 meters (26 feet) in height with a trunk diameter of up to 15 centimeters (6 inches). [2] It sprouts from its roots and can form dense, spiny thickets. The bark is gray with horizontal brown lenticels, similar in appearance to
Prunus salicina (syn. Prunus triflora or Prunus thibetica), commonly called the Japanese plum or Chinese plum, [2] is a small deciduous tree native to China, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. It is an introduced species in Korea, Japan, the United States, and Australia.
Burbank sold the rights to the Burbank potato for $150 ($4,162 in 2023 dollars [6]) and used the money to travel to Santa Rosa, California, in 1875. Later, a natural vegetative sport (that is, an aberrant growth that can be reproduced reliably in cultivation) of Burbank potato with russetted skin was selected and named Russet Burbank potato .
The commercially important plum trees are medium-sized, usually pruned to 5–6 metres (16–20 ft) height. The tree is of medium hardiness. [ 13 ] Without pruning, the trees can reach 12 metres (39 ft) in height and spread across 10 metres (33 ft).
Prunus simonii, called apricot plum and Simon plum, is a tree in the genus Prunus. It was first described by Elie-Abel Carrière in 1872 and is native to Hebei province, China. [1] The species is not known in a truly wild state. [2] It has been important for breeding commercial plum cultivars from crosses with other species of the genus Prunus.
Prunus eremophila is a bulky shrub with tangled, thorny branches. It can reach over 2 meters (6 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft) in maximum height. [3]The deciduous leaves have toothed, pointed, oval blades up to 2 or 3 centimeters (3 ⁄ 4 or 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches) long.
The American plum grows as a large shrub or small tree, reaching up to 4.6 metres (15 feet). [12] It is adapted to coarse- and medium-textured soils, but not to fine soils (silt or clay). Beneficially, the shrub survives harsh winters, down to temperatures of -40 degrees (Fahrenheit); [ 13 ] but has little tolerance for shade, drought, or fire.
