Lon, Did you notice the bark? One photo shows the blistering that one usually associates with cherry bark, not plums. What kind of bark does your Redheart plum have? -Mark

I have a tree of Redheart plum that looks very much
like this - deep red, firm flesh, very small pit, and the flavor is more like
cherry than plum. If he has rooted cuttings of it, it seems more likely
that the tree is a plum, since plums will root more readily from cuttings than
cherries will. The tree pictured in bloom looks like a Japanese
plum, to me. With a multi-trunked tree such as that, it wouldn't be that
hard to keep it to seven feet with pruning, especially since zone 5 is about
the limit of it's hardiness, and in a colder climate it would likely be a
smaller size.
