Freestone Wolf is a named plum recorded in South Dakota trial notes as productive, firm, freestone, and light red. The note also says it does not crack. It set a good crop and ripened with Stoddard, placing it in the same season as that comparison cultivar in the station's orchard records. [S1]
The surviving description is brief but specific. Fruit size is given as about one and one fourth to one and three eighths inches. It is described as light red, firm, freestone, and resistant to cracking. This combination suggests a plum valued for handling and kitchen convenience as well as appearance. [S1]
The South Dakota bulletin preserves this as an orchard performance note, not a full origin story. It places Freestone Wolf within the station's broader evaluation of named plums under South Dakota conditions, where winter survival, cropping, and fruit quality determined whether a variety was worth keeping or recommending. No breeder, release date, or explicit parentage is given in the cited note. [S1]
Hardiness is not stated directly for Freestone Wolf in this excerpt. Its significance here comes from its inclusion in South Dakota experiment station testing, which places it in a northern Great Plains trial context, but the note does not give a zone rating or a fuller hardiness judgment. [S1]
