Hi,
This topic is on favorite plums, separate by grouping: Japanese, European and
North American
1. Japanese plums: does anyone feel that Shiro is better than Methley? Is
Shiro partially self-fertile? Will P. americana pollinate these hybrid
Japanese plums (P. cerasifera x salicina).
2. European plums: does anyone feel d'Agen is a better-flavored plum than
Imperial Epineuse? Is Green Gage (one single type?) the best P. x domestica
plum?
3. Native plums: what are your thoughts on cultivars and the straight species
of American plum, chickasaw plum, wild goose plums (P. munsoniana; P.
rivularis; P. hortulana)? Is Guthrie (P. augustifolia x spp.) much better
flavored than the straight species A. augustifolia.
Thank you,
Steve
