I have in my front yard Kahinta, Toka, and Tecumseh. And about 6 "rootsprouts" now about 30" tall, unbranched.

I am thinking these will be true to one of the plum types, that the plums I plkanted are cloned, not grafted. Or am I wrong ? Would there be any reason to use them as rootstock material, or should I just let them do their thing?? I am ignorant of what a hybrid plum really is. Could I root prune them and move then to a new location? Will I be able to tell which plum I have from leaf or growth habit, or must I wait for fruits to develop?

Thanks all you knowledgeable folks,

Karen, Ct zone 5
