Yes, beach plums are productive and the jelly is very good.

I half recall a thread about growing Beach Plum (Prunus maratima) but I
don't remember comments about flavor. Beach Plum is another suggestion I've
received to use for making jelly. Hartmann's Nursery has it in their
catalog this year. What do you think? Do you think customers would buy
Beach Plum jelly a second time?
