Beach plum seem somewhat resistant to curculio. Pollination needs are not clear. I could send you some scionwood if you like.

I would love to try Beach Plum. I'm sure I can graft it into my Stanley plum. However I have a big issue with PLum curculio and I don't spray. I'm sure it's not resistant to the PM.
Also is it self pollinating? will it need another beach plum or other plums are able to pollinate it?

Anyone know it's history/parentage?

Is "Jersey" a selection of pure prunus maritima.or is it a hybrid

with some other species?

Is it from the  New Jersey/ Rutgers breeding program?

I tasted my Jersey beach plums today, here in NY's Hudson Valley.

They were delicious. I got the plant from Raintree Nursery.
