Wiki Draft

American Eagle is a plum in the Americana group. The Osceola Nursery Company of Osceola, Missouri, introduced it in 1889. Prof. Waugh described it as one of the best varieties in that group. [S1]

South Dakota station notes show the variety was still under early observation, but the two young trees at the Station had already been productive. This gives at least some direct evidence that American Eagle could bear well under trial conditions in the region. [S1]

The surviving source gives only a brief historical and evaluative note, not a full description of the fruit or tree. It identifies American Eagle as an Americana plum with enough merit to be singled out by Waugh, but the present evidence does not state fruit size, color, flavor, season, or storage. [S1]
