Shiro - The tree is medium in size and vigor. Shiro tends to 

 overset and thinning may be necessary to maintain good 

 fruit size and annual production. The fruit has a very 

 attractive, bright yellow color, is of medium-small 

 size and good flavor. (Ozark Premier, Redheart) • 



Santa Rosa - A large reddish purple Japanese plum of good quality. 

 The tree is large and vigorous. Santa Rosa ripens 

 about a week later than Formosa. The fruit keeps and 

 ships well. Though usually a productive variety, 

 Santa Rosa has been a poor producer in our University 

 orchards. (Elephant Heart, Redheart) 



Redheart 



A very good producer of medium- sized , heart-shaped, 

 red-fleshed plums. The fruit has not developed satis- 

 factory flavor in our orchards. Redheart ripens in 

 the third week of August. This variety is said to be 

 a very good pollenizer for other Japanese plums and 

 may prove valuable for that purpose alone . (Elephant 

 Heart) 



Bradshaw - The tree is medium to large in size and productive. 



The fruit is above medium size, blue and of good quality. 

 Bradshaw is recommended for those who desire a succession 

 of varieties in the home garden.

 fruit ripens in early September. The tree was a good 

 producer in our Amherst orchards.

 August. The size is medium to large, and the quality 

 is very good. Production has been moderate. Mohawk 

 is said to be self -unfruitful . 



Iroquois - An attractive blue prune that ripens in early September 

 about a week before Stanley. The fruit is of medium 

 size, longer than Stanley and of good quality. The 

 tree is productive. There was some splitting of the 

 fruit when the trees first came into bearing. Iroquois 

 is said to be self - fruitful . 



Elephant Heart - The tree is large and vigorous. The fruit is very 

 large, dark red and heart-shaped. The flesh is blood- 

 red in color and good in quality. Elephant Heart is 

 a desirable variety where high yields can be maintained.
