After reading your replies I walked outside to look at the blackberry and lo 
and behold
I found a nice cluster of small, perfect seedlings that had come up quite a 
ways from the host plant,
easy to dig and transplant and perfect for shipping, in colder weather would 
probably be best
mostly beacuse of hostile conditions en route. I will probably go ahead and 
dig and pot so they will
develop new feeder roots and be hardier for shipping and replanting.

The plum did not set fruit this year; it fully flowered but only set a few 
dozen fruit,
a few of which ripened. Maybe next year will be better. I have severely 
pruned the tree and removed
a poplar nearby which was shading it. I will hike out into the neighbor's 
woods to see if there are any
pits on the ground under his trees, which are a large grove. If I find any I will send you some, Cindy and others 
interested.
