Hunt's De Soto is an Americana plum. South Dakota trial literature describes it as an Iowa variety introduced by Prof. J. L. Budd of the Iowa Experiment Station. The bulletin does not give full breeding history or parentage, but it places the cultivar among Iowa introductions and says it deserves notice. [S1]
The fruit is described against De Soto as about the same overall, but slightly larger and darker red. Quality was rated only fair in that season, though the note says the trees had overborne, which may have reduced fruit quality. In storage, it performed very well in 1904, ranking second only to Bender for keeping quality among the plums compared. [S1]
The trees are described as early and heavy bearers, based on three specimens received from the Iowa Experiment Station. That mix of early bearing, productivity, and strong keeping quality appears to be why the variety was singled out as one that "merits attention." [S1]
Hardiness is not stated in zone terms. The clearest context is its evaluation under South Dakota conditions in an Americana plum trial. This supports it as a plum considered relevant to the northern prairie fruit belt, but the source does not make a precise hardiness claim. [S1]
