Last fall I met a local grower who is one of the few in the area with plums. 
His favorite is Grenville. I got a couple scions for grafting this spring. 
However, in doing a web search I only located a couple nurseries in 
Saskatewan who carry it.

This is the description given by this Ontario Nursery  
http://www.siloamorchards.com/Plums.htm
"Grenville -  A cross of the Japanese plum Burbank with native Canadian plum 
(Prunus Nigra) from Ottawa 1932.  Early bloom, vigorous tree, prolific 
yields.  Dark rosy red fruit, yellow flesh, large clingstone."

Anyone growing it?
  The url below is from Quebec, to access their sizeable list of plum 
cultivars, scroll down on the right and click on 'plum' ,  when that opens 
scroll down to the bottom and click on 'list of plum cultivars'
