Cheney | description_snippet | The entry describes a very large native-type plum: roundish-oval fruit with sometimes lop-sided or oblong-diamond tendency, bright yellow ground color with livid red mottling, light lilac bloom, thin skin, fle
Cheney | entry_hardiness_observation | Trees are described as prone to plum pocket fungus and curculio, and some trees on the trial were sun-scorched or killed by sunburn conditions.
