Claude and Doug,
I know sometimes nurseries are very lax about naming. Here around the Montreal region, there are many nurseries selling a "Mirabelle" plum, the cultivar itself not being specified. Most of the nurseries list it as Ag Can Z4, so suitable for my region.
In late summer we have a lot of farmer's markets and supermarkets selling baskets of small juicy yellow plums flushed with orange red from Ontario. I always assumed they are a Mirabelle type, or they could be Reine Claudes I suppose. Fully ripe, I find them a particularly tasty treat. Hopefully my tree will produce similar fruit.
I am a definite newbie but interested in learning. So thanks for the interesting discussion.
