Manor is a cherry plum cultivar listed in a University of Minnesota pollination bulletin as a Sapa seedling and as one of the commonly grown varieties used in compatibility tests and planting recommendations. In 1951, it was described as a new variety of Canadian origin that was not yet widely available in the United States. [S1]
The bulletin does not give a full breeder history or release date. It places Manor within the northern prairie cherry plum breeding stream that connected Canadian and Upper Midwest fruit work. Its parentage is stated simply: it is a seedling of Sapa, not a later descendant cross. [S1]
The surviving description is practical, not sensory. Manor is listed as early blooming, early ripening, and purple fleshed, with good pollen abundance. In pollinizer tests, it was rated only fair overall despite its good pollen supply. This matches the bulletin's broader warning that cherry plums can be very specific in compatibility, and that success with one variety does not predict success with another. [S1]
For orchard use, Manor was important enough to appear in both the main intercompatibility set and the smaller recommended planting group for home or commercial orchards. The same bulletin lists Compass, Convoy, Sapalta, Sapa, and Oka as good pollinizers for Manor, while Opata was rated only fair. [S1]
No direct hardiness zone is stated. The strongest context is geographic: Manor was discussed in a Minnesota bulletin focused on northern latitudes, northern prairie breeding, and orchard planning in regions with short bloom periods and difficult pollination weather. This places it in a cold climate fruit setting, but the source does not make a precise zone claim. [S1]
