Gold was a plum The Northwest Nursery Company described as “a very large variety of the Japanese plum.” The same catalog names Gold as a parent of Opata, placing it in the background of Hansen’s hardy plum and cherry-plum introductions. It does not present Gold itself as one of those hybrids. [S1]
The catalog gives little detail on Gold’s fruit beyond its large size and Japanese plum identity. It does not describe skin color, flesh, flavor, ripening season, storage, tree habit, or disease traits. [S1]
Gold’s main historical note is commercial. The catalog says $3,000 was paid for Gold when it was first introduced. This suggests it was valuable or notable at introduction, but the source does not name the introducer, year, breeder, or place of origin. [S1]
The catalog gives no direct hardiness statement for Gold. Its appearance on a North Dakota nursery catalog page for hardy northern fruits gives prairie context, but this is weaker than a zone rating or winter survival record. [S1]
