Crimson is listed as a Prunus nigra plum in a South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station evaluation. The note is brief, but it places the cultivar in cold climate plum testing alongside other northern plums and related selections. [S1]
The source says the tree came from C. W. Heideman of Minnesota and was planted in spring 1900. It had not fruited by 1903. When it fruited in 1904, the station judged the crop too small to have commercial value. [S1]
This leaves Crimson mainly as a record of early northern plum testing, not a fully described market plum. The source does not give parentage, breeder, fruit color, flavor, season, or tree habit beyond noting that it was slow to bear in this trial and disappointing in fruit size once it did. [S1]
