Millett, also called Millett's Wild Plum, is an Americana plum noted in South Dakota trial literature as a vigorous and productive orchard tree, but its fruit was considered too small to recommend on fruit size alone. [S1]
The surviving note is brief and reads more like an evaluation record than a full cultivar profile. It places Millett in the Americana group and shows that several trees or forms under this name were growing in the old Station orchard. They were reported as vigorous and productive. [S1]
The source most clearly preserves the contrast between tree performance and fruit value. The trees were doing well in the orchard, yet the fruit "runs too small." This suggests that whatever value Millett had for adaptation or bearing habit, it fell short as a market or dessert plum in that trial context. [S1]
The same page is part of a South Dakota bulletin focused on plum adaptation and orchard performance, so Millett's inclusion places it within northern plains evaluation work. The source does not give parentage, breeder, place of origin, season, or a fuller description of color, flavor, or use for this cultivar entry. [S1]
