The first of the jan, joy...series I have bloomed so profusely and beautifully that I am propagating some as ornamentals to go along our drive, hoping I will also find the fruit useful, Del

The late Professor Elwyn Meader crossed two species of plums to get a fruit that looks and tastes like a pie cherry, but on a bush only 6 feet tall at maximum. The interesting part is that they ripen in August when all other cherries are gone and the birds usually ignore them because at that time of year their brains tell them to seek blue or black fruit. I imagine they would be safe from cherry fruit flies because they are much later than the flies are around, and being plums (technically) they might not be attractive to the flies.
Lon: Did Professor Meader make the cross available commerically and is it still available? Has any of our members planted this cross? I have room in the orchard and would like to give it a try in coastal zone 7.
