I had this problem myself this year.  Bought a Robusto and a Guthrie
Improved Chickasaw to complement my Methely and the native Chickasaws
and the two new plums bloomed completely out of synch with everything
else.  I'm hoping that this was because they had gotten more chill
hours at the nursery up in the Panhandle so bloomed before the rest
and this won't be a problem next year.  Huge blossom crop on the
Methely this year but it doesn't look like it set hardly anything. 
Oh well...
