My beach plums (rom Bear Creek if I remember correctly) are very productive but are much too astringent to eat out of hand. I have had good success making wine from them tho. At this point the planting is turning into in inpenetrable thicket, as they spread by seed quite readily.

I've had a couple of seedling beach plums, from Ken Asmus' OIKOS Tree Crops
nursery, growing here for 8-10 years - and I have a good clay soil. One is
quite dwarf in stature, compared to the other one, and only the dwarf
selection has fruited, but it does so yearly, and unlike the Jap.hybrid,
Chickasaw, and European plums(still no fruit 12 years from planting), I've
rarely noticed any brown rot, and the fruits hang well, actually will dry
on the plant - they almost never fall off. Nice little fruits, and I'll
pick a handful or two as I pass by on the lawnmower, until they're all
gone, or completely dried out, whichever comes first.
