Crescent City is a plum in the hortulana, Miner group. It was originated by H. A. Terry at Crescent, Iowa, in 1885, and the name appears to reflect that place of origin. [S1]
The surviving evidence is brief but clear on its early history. The South Dakota bulletin records Crescent City as an Iowa selection from 1885, not a South Dakota introduction. [S1]
Its hardiness record in South Dakota was poor. The bulletin states that two trees planted in the old Station orchard in 1888 winter-killed, suggesting it did not withstand conditions at that trial location. [S1]
The source used here does not provide a fruit description, season, culinary use, or fuller tree habit for Crescent City. It does place the cultivar in the Miner group plum context, which matters because that group was closely watched for hardy plum culture on the northern Great Plains. [S1]
