Jerry, Evans/Bali is typically sold as an own-rooted tree - my original was a
tissue-cultured
specimen from Bill MacKentley at St. Lawrence Nurseries. It suckers
prolifically,
throwing up suckers 5-15 ft or so from the main trunk. Since these are
genetic
clones of the original, I just dig them up and transplant to a new site or
give
them away to friends. All the info I've seen on Evans indicates that it's not
very
graft-compatible with any other cherries/plums - maybe you'd have to use its
own
seedlings? If memory serves correctly, it comes pretty 'true' from seed - I
think
there's at least one Canadian source that grows it from seed and sells
seedlings
