Hanska sounds interesting. I wonder how it would do in Seattle. I have
hybrid plum-apricot (Pluot) trees in two different locations in town. These
trees are the first to bloom in my collection. In one location I always get
a few fruits. In the other location I never get fruit. If they bloomed a
little later I think these plum-apricot trees would do better. If you have
experience with Hanska, does it bllom earlier or later relative to plums?
Also I'm looking for someone with some Hanska scionwood. I checked the
ARS-GRIN government collection, and Hanska is not listed.

The Professor Hansen-developed american-hybrid plum variety "Hanska" is I
hear supposed to taste
somewhat like an Apricot. Can anyone who has grown "Hanska" confirm that?
"Hanska" is supposed to be one of the heavier bearing american-hybrid plum
varieties, according to
some growers I have talked with. "Hanska" is not in my collection.
