Wiki Draft

Pomona is an Americana plum, apparently a natural cross of Forest Garden and Miner. An early South Dakota plum bulletin described it as a promising new variety from E. D. Cowles of Vermillion, South Dakota. [S1] The surviving entry is brief, but it places Pomona in the hardy northern plains plum tradition of regional selection and evaluation. [S1]

The bulletin says nursery growth was very strong. [S1] No fruit description, ripening season, keeping quality, or disease notes appear in the extracted portion now available. Those points remain unresolved here. [S1] The stated parentage is marked as apparent rather than certain. [S1]
