IF you are open to an apple substitute, one of the red-fleshed can be quite 
ornamental and smaller: For instance, Winekist and Redfield both have lovely 
blossom and bloom among the earliest of apples - near the time of plums. 
Winekist is a natural semi-dwarf in its own right and Redfield on M26, Gen30, 
41 or 935 would be modest in size.
Both are not too hard to find in your area.

Someone else must recommend a resistant plum, which is beyond my experience,
