Title: listing from old catalog
Idell, I still had ’98, ’99, and 2000 editions of the Bear Creek
Nursery catalogs in my file cabinet. The only non-grafted/budded plum I’ve seen in any of those
catalogs is beach plum, P.maritima. Did not see ‘Sierra’ plum
anywhere in there. I had a couple of seedling beach plums here, from Ken Asmus at
OIKOS; in the ground for over a decade, neither ever threw out any suckers –
until the last one died back a year or two ago, but I’m seeing some
suckers popping up 10 ft or so away from the original plant now. They don’t state the species for the Timm & Success
seedlings(I have a couple of those growing here), and I’d always thought
they were A.alnifolia – but the NCGR database lists Success as a hybrid
of A.stoloniferaXalnifolia, and if you read Dirr’s treatment of the genus
Amelanchier, it seems that the taxonomists do a lot of ‘lumping’ or
‘splitting’, when it comes to classifying specimens, depending upon
which camp (lumpers or splitters) they belong to. Lucky Pittman Hopkinsville KY From:

Behalf Of Idell Weydemeyer Hello to NAFEX folks, This is a bit of an odd
request-- I am looking for a Bear Creek
Catalog listing from before 2000. I need the description of a
"native" plum , probably
the Sierra Plum (to see if it is the one that sprouts from the base) and
for Timm and Success
serviceberries (possibly Amelanchier
stolonifera). My garden will be on a garden tour soon and I need to make sure these are the correct
plants and scientific names.
