I'm getting pretty frustrated in my plum-growing efforts here in
western NC (zone 6). My Red Heart has flowered the past 3 years, but nary a
plum. Late frosts are the big problem (like most of us on the east coast, I
suspect). My Riene Claude D'Oullins is about 8 years old and hasn't yet
flowered. Are the Europeans slow to mature? Are European plums generally
later blooming than Japanese or hybrids? Any recommended varieties for east
coast climate that typically experiences late freezes?

thanks in advance,
