Kiowa was listed in 1921 as one of the “other new plums” offered by the Department of Horticulture at South Dakota State College in Brookings. The listing appeared in the context of N. E. Hansen’s northern fruit breeding work. The catalog offered a few one-year-old Kiowa trees on native plum roots. It grouped Kiowa with Opata, Sapa, Hanska, and Kaw, and priced it the same as Waneta. [S1]
The source does not describe Kiowa’s fruit, parentage, ripening season, storage quality, or hardiness. The page focuses on Hansen hybrid plums, native plum roots, sand cherry rootstocks, and hardy plum breeding. This shows Kiowa belonged to the northern prairie plum introduction context, but the source preserves only a sale listing, not a full cultivar profile. [S1]
Kiowa’s direct parentage and later breeding role are not stated in the available source. The strongest supported statement is that Kiowa was a named new plum available from the South Dakota State College horticulture program in 1921 as a young grafted or budded tree on native plum roots. [S1]
