Prunus maritima is beach plum, a wild plum species from the eastern United States, not a named cultivated variety. At the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station orchard, four trees were grown and evaluated under prairie conditions. [S1]
The station's note is brief but clear. It says the fruit was very small and ripened so late that it had no practical value there. [S1]
This entry is mainly useful as a historical record of species testing at the edge of adaptation, not as a fruit recommendation. It shows that beach plum was considered worth trying in the northern plains, but this source does not praise its season or usefulness. [S1]
No breeder, parentage, or release history is given, and the bulletin does not provide a direct hardiness rating for Prunus maritima in this entry. [S1]
