Winnipeg was a named native Manitoba plum selected by N. E. Hansen's South Dakota State College horticulture program. It came from seed of a wild Manitoba plum received from near Stonewall, north of Winnipeg. The 1921 catalog listed it under "Pure Native Manitoba Plums" and named it with Assiniboin as one of two selected forms from that Manitoba material. [S1]
The catalog gives little direct description of the fruit. Winnipeg's importance is mainly as a selected native plum from far northern prairie material, not as a fully described dessert or cooking cultivar. The entry places it within Hansen's wider plum work, including native plums, Hansen hybrid plums, sand cherry hybrids, and attempts to breed plums that might come true from seed. [S1]
Winnipeg was sold in limited nursery form. The catalog listed a few one-year trees on native plum roots. It also included Winnipeg among varieties available as one-year trees budded on sand cherry stocks. The same page says plums on sand cherry roots were valued for early bearing and dwarf trees. That note applies to the stock type, not only to Winnipeg. [S1]
The clearest hardiness evidence is geographic and observational. The source says the selected Manitoba plums had done well, especially far north in Canada. Winnipeg came from wild plum seed collected near Stonewall, north of Winnipeg. No hardiness zone is stated. [S1]
Winnipeg's parentage is not given beyond seed from a Manitoba wild plum. Assiniboin was a companion selection from the same Manitoba material, but the source does not say whether the two were siblings in a strict breeding sense. [S1]
