Claims Added

A. Norby | anecdote_snippet | Narrative note states it had been the best early plum for two years until heavily affected by scab.
A. Norby | culinary_use | Specifically recommended as good for cooking and canning.
A. Norby | entry_hardiness_observation | Disease susceptibility is notable, especially scab in wet seasons; also noted for pockets and rot.
A. Norby | flavor_profile | Fruit quality reported as good and nearly equal to Cheney for cooking and canning.
A. Norby | fruit_size | Fruit described as long plum, approximately 1⅛ by 1½ inches.
A. Norby | productivity | Reported small crop in 1901 due overbearing, but later described as best large early plum tested and capable of high cropping versus Aitkin.
A. Norby | release_year_reference | Ripe date noted as August 18.
A. Norby | rootstock_compatibility | Less drought-tolerant than many other kinds; described as suffering where drought stress occurs.
Odegard | description_snippet | In 1904, a large portion of crop on both native plum and sand cherry stocks shriveled and dried up due to scab.
Odegard | entry_hardiness_observation | Scab susceptibility was severe enough to materially reduce crop and damage foliage in the observed season.
Odegard | entry_location | Observed in the Station orchard on both native plum roots and sand cherry stocks.
Odegard | growth_habit | Described as vigorous, with unpruned trees showing excessive limb spread/wind whipping under heavy crop loads.
Odegard | productivity | Observed as early and good bearers on native plum roots, though root systems on sand cherry stock were weak under heavy cropping.
Odegard | release_year_reference | Ripening observed as 1902 August 26, 1903 August 29, and 1904 August 30; favorable seasons ripened closer to August 11–15.
Odegard | selection_origin_reference | Odegard was introduced by H. T. Odegard of Brookings, South Dakota, using seedlings purchased as one-year-old trees.

Odegard | anecdote_snippet | A. Norby said he set a small crop in 1901 owing mainly to overbearing.
Odegard | anecdote_snippet | A. Norby wrote in 1904 that it had been his best early plum until two years before, when it was badly attacked by scab, and he hoped an effective remedy would soon be found.
Odegard | anecdote_snippet | A. Norby wrote that in a wet season the variety scabbed badly enough to reduce the crop materially.
Odegard | anecdote_snippet | In 1904 about two-thirds of the heavy crop, on both native plum and sand cherry stock, shriveled and dried up with scab, and the foliage was also affected.
Odegard | culinary_use | A. Norby considered it nearly equal to Cheney for cooking and canning and later said the fruit was of good quality for any use.
Odegard | description_snippet | A. Norby reported ripe August 18th in his 1902 note.
Odegard | description_snippet | In favorable seasons it ripens fully ten days earlier than the late-August dates recorded at the station.
Odegard | description_snippet | Recorded station ripening dates were August 26 in 1902, August 29 in 1903, and August 30 in 1904.
Odegard | entry_hardiness_observation | The page discusses performance under station orchard conditions in South Dakota, including heavy bearing and structural issues rather than winter injury.
Odegard | entry_location | Introduced by H. T. Odegard of Brookings, South Dakota, who bought some of the seedlings as one-year-old trees.
Odegard | flavor_profile | A. Norby reported the quality as good, very nearly equal to Cheney for cooking and canning.
Odegard | fruit_size | A. Norby reported the fruit size as one and one-eighth by one and one-half inches, being a long plum.
Odegard | growth_habit | A. Norby described it as a good grower.
Odegard | growth_habit | The tree makes strong growth and needs pruning back to secure a more compact habit, because long limbs are whipped about too much by the wind under heavy crops.
Odegard | productivity | A. Norby wrote that the tree would bear twice as much fruit as Aitkin of the same age and ripens at the same time.
Odegard | productivity | In the young Station orchard, trees on native plum roots proved early and good bearers.
Odegard | recommendation_context | A. Norby called it the best large early plum tested there, though somewhat subject to pockets, rot, and later scab.
Odegard | recommendation_context | The variety is described as worthy of trial because of its large size, early ripening, and productiveness.
Odegard | rootstock_compatibility | Odegard trees on sand cherry stocks borne early and abundantly, but the root system did not appear strong enough to support the unpruned top, and some trees sagged or lopped to one side.
Odegard | rootstock_compatibility | Trees on sand cherry stock were more affected by scab than those on plum stock.
