Harrison, also called Harrison's Peach, is a plum described in the South Dakota bulletin as a nigra type. It was remembered in the old Station orchard for large fruit and excellent quality, but the trees were shy bearers. H. C. Warner also described it as large but not productive. [S1]
The surviving account is not a breeder release note. It is an orchard record from the South Dakota station. One tree of Harrison's Peach was raised on sand cherry stock, planted in the orchard in 1898 as a one year tree, and followed through several crops. This gives the variety practical historical interest because the bulletin records how it performed in an upper Great Plains orchard, not just in nursery praise. [S1]
The fruit seems to have varied with crop load. In the heavy 1904 crop, it was rather small, red with some yellow on one side, and only fair in quality, ripening about September 10. Fruit from an older orchard tree with a lighter crop was much larger and was called a good keeper. Earlier station crops in 1902 and 1903 ripened on September 7. [S1]
Tree performance is the main theme of the entry. Harrison could produce good crops, including in 1902 and 1903, and in 1904 the tree overbore. But the broader judgment remained that it was a shy or unproductive bearer. The record suggests a plum valued for size and quality when well grown, but not trusted for regular heavy production. [S1]
The bulletin does not give a formal hardiness rating, breeder, or parentage. Its importance here is geographic and practical: Harrison was grown and observed in South Dakota station conditions, and it was also worked on sand cherry stock, placing it within the cold climate plum world of the northern plains. [S1]
