This sounds like an interesting plum.
Do any of you know of a source in the USA?
Canadian growers would need a virus certified source to ship to the USA.

Jim, I'm not familiar
with this plum, but it also goes by the name
'Homesteader'. It is supposed to have a green skin
with a red blush. I imagine the green turns to a yellowish
green when it is fully ripe. It is sold by
DNA Gardens in Canada. Some sources say it is hardy to
Zone 2. -- Sam
