~RED HEART (J). A new plum similar to Duarte—ripening a little 
later than Santa Rosa and a little before Duarte. It is a medium- 
sized, blood plum with bright, even-red flesh and dark purplish- 
red skin covered with a moderate grey bloom. It is not self-fruit- 
ful, must be cross-pollinated. Good pollenizers are Becky Smith, 
Elephant Heart, and Wickson. Of special interest to plum grow- 
ers is the fact that Red Heart will set fruit on the Elephant Heart 
(which has lots of commercial merit), as well as produce an ex- 
cellent crop of its own when cross-pollinated by Elephant Heart. 
It appears to have a fairly high chilling requirement so may be 
restricted to colder areas.
