Wachampa is a cherry-plum listed in the University of Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station's 1951 stone-fruit pollination bulletin. The bulletin gives its parentage as Prunus besseyi x Sultan plum, placing it among sand cherry and plum hybrids rather than standard European or Japanese plums. [S1]
The source does not describe Wachampa's fruit size, color, flesh, flavor, ripening season, or storage quality. Its main documented value here is for pollination. In cherry-plum tests, Wachampa was rated fair as a pollinizer, with medium bloom season and medium pollen abundance. It was tested on five varieties. [S1]
Wachampa was one of 11 commonly grown cherry-plums used by the Minnesota bulletin to show intercompatibility. The bulletin warns that cherry-plums can have specific compatibility needs, so success with one variety does not prove usefulness with another. [S1]
Another table in the same bulletin lists Wachampa among named hybrid and native plum varieties tested and rated as poor pollinizers. This appears to describe a different pollination context than the cherry-plum table, where Wachampa is rated fair. [S1]
No direct hardiness zone is given for Wachampa. The source is a Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station bulletin from the Fruit Breeding Farm at Excelsior. Its cherry-plum section discusses pollination in northern latitudes, but that context is not a formal zone rating. [S1]
