Title: Need info on several plum cultivars

I am considering planting some plums and would appreciate list members' comments on the following cultivars -- their hardiness, disease susceptibility, fresh eating and processing quality, etc.   When possible, give comparisons to other cultivars.

European (P. domestica)
        Hildreth (European, Green Gage type)
        Mount Royal
        Northern Blue (European, Mount Royal open pollinated)
        Opal
        Yakima

Japanese or Japanese hybrids:
        Gracious
        Purple Heart

Also, it would be useful if you would say where you garden.  Thanks. -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, Minn. (USDA Zone 4b)
