This South Dakota introduction, is often described as one of the best pollinators but it also has an exceptional fruit quality. It’s a medium sized, richly flavored, almost spicy variety with beautiful apricot-colored fruit.  

An early ripening (early August), hardy fruit with free-stone pit that doesn’t stick to the flesh. Naturally compact growth habit makes it easy to manage.  Will not pollinize other plums.  Use 'Toka', 'Waneta' or Wild Plum for pollination.
