Kasota Bush is a bush cherry from N. E. Hansen's hardy fruit introduction program. It is listed in South Dakota station literature under 1940. The surviving evidence here is thin and mostly limited to excerpts rather than a full cultivar profile, but it preserves a few concrete details about the fruit and the name. [S1]
Sources describe the fruit as black and nearly 1 inch across. One hundred fruits weighed 406 grams, and the pit made up 5.29 percent of the fruit weight. Quality is described as very good. One source calls it the second best bush cherry of 1939, suggesting it stood out in comparative evaluation before its 1940 listing. [S1]
The name is also explained: "Kasota" is said to be the Sioux Indian name for "a clear sky." [S1]
The provided material does not state hardiness, plant habit, season, or fuller origin details. The page level source is an alphabetical index that points to Bulletin 339, page 26, so a fuller account likely exists elsewhere in the same document trail. [S1]
