Ochesoto appears in N. E. Hansen's South Dakota State College horticulture program as a sand cherry hybrid plum, listed with Opata, Sapa, Sansoto, and Wachampa. The source is brief, but it places Ochesoto in Hansen's plum and sand cherry breeding work at Brookings, South Dakota, in a 1921 nursery and breeding catalog. [S1]
The source does not state Ochesoto's parentage, fruit size, color, flavor, ripening season, or release date. Its clearest horticultural note concerns training. Hansen advised growing these sand cherry hybrids as bushes, with many stems near the ground, instead of pruning them to one high stem like some ordinary plums. [S1]
The same page gives broader program context. It describes Hansen hybrid plums, plum and sand cherry work, native plum seedlings, sand cherry seedlings, and experiments to produce plums that might come true from seed. Ochesoto belongs to the early prairie hybrid plum material tied to Hansen's northern fruit breeding work, but this source preserves it mainly as a named member of that group, not as a fully described cultivar. [S1]
No direct hardiness zone is stated for Ochesoto. Its cold-climate relevance is inferred only from its placement in a South Dakota northern fruit catalog focused on hardy plums, sand cherry hybrids, and western upland conditions. [S1]
