Content-class: urn:content-classes:messageSame here in KY. I've given up anticipating any edible fruits from the half-dozen or so European & Japanese hybrid plums I planted when we first started our home orchard, 12 years ago.

Deb,
I havent had very good luck with purchased varieties of plums lots of the fruits seem to split and rot on the tree here in the mountains of NC. What Ive started doing is talking to some of the old-time farmers around and asking for sprouts of any good plums that they have, and/or buying local plums from farmers markers and planting the seeds. I think local land races might be better adapted to local conditions than purchased trees, and its sort of in the NAFEX spirit, too.
