If you're interested in beach plum you might want to check out this web site:
 
It's about efforts to try to develop the beach plum as an agricultural crop (mainly for the NorthEast).
 
I've also heard the comment by a BYFG member that it tastes good, but there's only a small amount of
flesh between the pit and skin.  I have no personal experience with them.  I've been intrigued by them
but had figured that they wouldn't thrive on my clay/loam soil.  It's good to hear that someone has
them successfully on clay, so maybe they would survive.
 
Sincerely,
