I grow beach plums inland, in the Hudson Valley region of New York, Zone 5, about 100 miles up the Hudson from New York City. I also devoted a whole chapter to this fruit in my new book UNCOMMON FRUITS FOR EVERY GARDEN (Timbeer Press, 2004).

The link in the story had a typo.  Here is the correct link to the beach plum growers guide:

Does anyone in NAFEX grow beach plums in an environment that is not near the beach?

WILD fruit provide a tart treat
from the(Dover) Delaware Capitol Review
...She waded into thickets to gather the tiny, blue fruit.... A cold, windy spring might strip the shrubs of blossoms before they can product fruit.... <http://www.newszap.com/articles/2004/08/10/dm/central_delaware/mc04.txt>

Here's an excerpt from this story: 

        But Cornell University, the University of Massachusetts, and Cape Cod Cooperative Extension have developed a guide that might help farmers raise beach plums more successfully.

It is available online atbeachplum.cornell.edu/bpguide, and suggests soil conditions, plant spacing, and schedules for pruning and fertilizing.
