Hi Bert,
Lots of small nurseries will mail stuff, or send it via bus, but the shipping is so expensive.

Here is their Plums / Cherry-Plums / Pears page;

I contacted Boughen Nurseries for cherry plums. They will ship, but the shipping costs half of the plant cost, and you need two varieties. So you pay enough for three, but a third goes to shipping.
An Opata cherry plum (bush form) costs $26. The shipping costs another $15.
I am too cheap to pay all that freight. Problem is nobody sells them localy.
I will grow from seed collected from Harrow. They are fast fruiting.
Later,
Tom
