Rareripe is an Americana plum recorded in the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station orchard records. A surviving note places it on several trees in the old Station orchard planted in 1888. Prof. C. A. Keffer was already reporting on it in Bulletin 26 in July 1891. This shows it was an early orchard plum under evaluation in South Dakota, though the descriptive part of the entry breaks off and continues on the next page, which is not included here. [S1]
The available evidence does not preserve a usable description of the fruit, season, flavor, tree habit, or hardiness. What can be said is narrower. Rareripe was treated as part of the Americana plum group. It was also notable enough to appear again in the station bulletin's photographic plate of "Wolf Seedling and Other Plums in 1902," where its fruit was shown among other named plums. [S1]
In Pomologica terms, Rareripe is currently documented more as an early Americana cultivar in prairie orchard history than as a fully described fruit. The present record ties it to the South Dakota station orchard and to Keffer's 1891 reporting, but its parentage, breeder or introducer, and practical fruit qualities remain unresolved from the evidence provided here.
