I loved my Green Gage plum.  I got it from the old New York Fruit Testing.
Unfortunately it died after about 7 years.  Plum do really well here.  It is
hot and sunny. We have been up past 100 for over a month.  My plums seem to be
running a bit early.  (So are my grapes) But the Burtons have good size though
still green.  They are usually ripe in october.  The Mirabelle is doing well.
The Elephant Heart, Shiro and Fortune are all near ripeness.
