The seed parent is ‘SuplumtWenty?ve’ (the subject of US. Plant Pat. No. 15,888), and the pollen parent is an unknown plum in the breeding population. The parent varieties Were ?rst crossed in February of 2002, With the date of planting of the progeny being February 2003, and the date of ?rst ?oW

The neW variety ‘ Suplumfortyone’ is distinguished from its

seed parent, ‘SuplumtWenty?ve’, in that the neW variety has red ?esh color While ‘SuplumtWenty?ve’ has amber ?esh color. The neW variety ‘Suplumfortyone’ has a similar ripening time as ‘Earliqueen’ (US. Plant Pat. No. 8,583), but the neW variety has red ?esh color While ‘Earliqueen’ has amber ?esh color. The neW variety ‘Suplumfortyone’ also has a similar ripening time as ‘SuplumtWentythree’ (U.S. Plant Patent No. 13,167), but the neW variety reaches full bloom at about 35
