The Dietz plums are a series of #1, #2, #3 plums.   All 3 are similar and are 
supposed to be resistant to a bug, I think its plum curculio.  I received all 
three from a guy in the midwest who left NAFEX because he said he was 
harassed by those in NAFEX who believed spray was necessary to raise fruit;  
he's growing 500 varieties of fruit with no spray.

I found one Dietz still alive, I think it's #3.  It's weak because its 
grafted on a weak, sprout rootstock.
