I have done work for Lon removing blackberry canes from in between 
some wild understock pyrus betulafolia for pear. I continue doing it 
because to me it's fun doing stuff like that free as I no longer live on 
the farm I grew up on. It might be fortunate to you to know that I know 
where the plum species is that your talking about. 

So I know Lon has one Prunus munsoniana which is classed that way by 
species. There's no question to me where the tree is located. It has an 
unusual bloom period which usually misses the flowers of apricot and 
salicina plum trees nearby. If anyone needs more information from me 
that I need to ask the family before going there for you you're welcome 
to (for now) take them through me. I'm going to schedule maintenance 
over there this week some time.

Rupert.
