Golden Rod is listed as a hybrid/native plum in a 1951 University of Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station bulletin on stone-fruit pollination. The table gives its species background as P. salicina hybrid x P. americana, placing it among Japanese plum hybrid material with American plum ancestry. [S1]
The source does not describe Golden Rod's fruit size, color, flavor, ripening season, culinary use, tree habit, breeder, origin, or release history. The preserved description concerns pollination behavior, not fruit quality. [S1]
In the Minnesota pollination tables, Golden Rod was rated as a fair pollinizer. It pollinated 3 tested varieties and had a medium bloom season. [S1]
The bulletin gives context for hardiness. It says pure P. salicina and P. simonii varieties were not tested as pollinizers because they lacked winter hardiness. The tables focus on hybrid and native plums evaluated for Minnesota. Golden Rod's listed background includes P. americana, a native plum species important in northern plum breeding, but the source gives no direct hardiness zone or winter survival claim for Golden Rod itself. [S1]
Golden Rod is mainly documented here as a midseason blooming plum with fair pollinizer value in Upper Midwest trials. More sources are needed to identify its origin, fruit traits, and whether it survived or circulated beyond the Minnesota pollination study. [S1]
