It was selected from seedlings obtained from the cross of the Japanese plum（P. salicina Lindl.） \u27Kasahara hatankyou\u27 and the Japanese apricot \u27Youseiume\u27. It was subjected to the 2nd national trial of Japanese apricot at 15 experimental stations in 14 prefectures in Japan as Ume Tsukuba 10 from 1999. It was named \u27Tsuyuakane\u27 and registered as No. 17,561 under The Plant Variety Protection and Seed Act of Japan on February 26, 2009. Tree shape is spreading, and tree vigor is moderate to slightly low. Flowering time is around 28th March and harvest time is around 11th July in the national trial. Fruits are very large (55.6 grams), of round to round elliptic shape. The degree of skin blushing is high and the flesh color is red to yellow. Titratable acidity is low at 3.79 g/100 ml. Stone weight is 2.7 grams. Fruit liquor and juice become red and are of excellent taste. The quality of umeboshi (pickles) is inferior to \u27Nankou\u27 because of the slightly rough fruit texture
