Kevin, just found the website.....
<http://www.agt.net/public/pchenier/thesis/fruit.html>
It mentions using  prunus nigra "Canada plum".  I haven't encountered it, 
have you?
It recommends prunus virginiana for super hardy rootstock....anyone out 
there use it? I've got a forest floor covered with seeedlings and think to 
move a bunch into nursery bed area for future grafting of plum and or evans 
cherry. I would guess it has dwarfing characteristics. Anyone experimented 
with it?

Heres another good site for folks like me seeing photos of just what "green 
tip" or "popcorn" or "silver tip" mean, from Mich. State U.
