When properly handled the fruits of Chabot are far the most attractive
of the many Triflora plums. They are large, beautifully molded and
handsomely mottled in shades of red over yellow with occasional splashes
of russet and a heavy but delicate bloom. To secure the best coloring,
the fruit must be picked before ripe and be matured in dark storage.
Early picking is necessary also because the season of ripening is very
long and the fruit drops badly if permitted to hang to the trees until
fully ripe. There should be at least three pickings for this variety.
Unfortunately, the quality of Chabot belies its appearance, being at
best not above the average. The fruits are firm and ship well and keep
rather better than those of any other plum of its species. The trees are
hardy and dependable in bearing but not as productive as could be wished.
The blossoms of Chabot open later than those of most other Trifloras,
enabling this sort occasionally to escape frosts which injure other
varieties of this species. The stamens are often short, undeveloped and
wholly or in part sterile. Because of its attractive fruit this variety
might well be grown more than it is for the markets.
