Maquoketa is a hortulana plum. The South Dakota bulletin describes it as an old variety found on the Maquoketa River in eastern Iowa.[S1] The record places it among native plum material under test for prairie conditions, but the surviving page preserves only the start of the entry.[S1]
At the South Dakota station, eight trees planted in 1896 had become large trees by the time of the report, though they were in poor condition. Some branches had dead wood, and one tree had already been lost.[S1] The same report says they were all shy bearers.[S1]
The clearest seasonal note is unfavorable for northern use. The fruit was considered too late and was usually still unripe when frost came.[S1] Maquoketa is notable less as a successful prairie plum than as an example of a hortulana variety that could grow into a large tree there but did not ripen fruit reliably under South Dakota conditions.[S1]
The fruit description on this page breaks off mid sentence and continues on the next page, so this source does not fully preserve its size, color, flavor, or use notes.[S1]
