Wiki Draft

Kaw was listed in 1921 as one of N. E. Hansen's newer plums from the Department of Horticulture at South Dakota State College in Brookings, South Dakota. The catalog lists it with Opata, Sapa, Hanska, and Kiowa in a small stock offering. One-year trees on native plum roots were available at the same price as Waneta. [S1]

The source gives no fruit description, parentage, release date, or ripening season for Kaw. It appears on a page for Hansen hybrid plums and hardy plum material, which places it in the South Dakota prairie fruit introduction context, but the page does not state its ancestry. [S1]

Kaw was offered as nursery stock, not described in detail. The surrounding catalog says plums on native sand cherry roots could bear early, stay dwarfed without dwarfing the fruit, and suit tubs or small amateur orchards. The Kaw entry itself says the available one-year trees were on native plum roots. [S1]

No direct hardiness zone is given. The strongest supported context is geographic and institutional: Kaw appears in a South Dakota State College hardy fruit catalog aimed at northern and western upland growing conditions. [S1]
