Sapalta is a cherry-plum listed in a 1951 University of Minnesota bulletin on stone-fruit pollination. The bulletin identifies it as a seedling of Sapa. It places Sapalta among 11 commonly grown cherry-plum varieties used for compatibility tests and planting recommendations. [S1]
The source focuses on pollination, not a full cultivar description. Sapalta has a medium bloom season and good pollen abundance. It was rated a good pollinizer in tests with seven varieties. [S1] In the home and commercial planting table, it is listed as early-medium in ripening season and purple in flesh color. [S1]
Sapalta appears in the reduced planting set and in a nine-row cherry-plum orchard plan, where it is placed in rows 1 and 9. [S1] The bulletin says cherry-plums have specific compatibility requirements. Success with one variety does not prove success with another. [S1] In that context, Sapalta's pollination record was part of a practical system for reliable fruit set in northern orchards. [S1]
For Sapalta, Compass, Convoy, Opata, and Oka are rated good pollinizers. Sapa and Manor are rated poor. [S1] Sapalta is also recorded as a good pollinizer for Convoy, Opata, and Manor, and a poor pollinizer for Sapa. [S1]
The bulletin gives no direct hardiness zone for Sapalta. Its northern context is clear. The work came from the University of Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station and discusses cherry-plum planting in northern latitudes, where short bloom periods and poor bloom weather made pollinizer choice important. [S1]
Sapalta's known parentage in this source is simple: it is listed as a Sapa seedling. [S1] The source does not provide a breeder, release year, fruit size, skin color, flavor, storage life, disease notes, or detailed tree habit for Sapalta.
