This California introduction is the earliest ripening plum in our 

 collection. The cherry red fruit was picked July 20th. The fruit 

 was medium in size, of good quality and freestone. The tree is 

 small, moderate in vigor and in fruit production. This was our 

 first opportunity to evaluate Burmosa. 



A Japanese type plum that was developed by the Missouri Agricultural 

 Experiment Station. The fruit was medium to small in size, golden 

 yellow with a pinkish red blush and ripens in early August. The 

 clingstone variety is fair to good in quality. Bonnie does not 

 appear to be promising under our conditions.
