@Petebacher, when I first started on the forum I found this thread to very educational on native plums and selected varieties.

Greetings all: If you live in a part of the Deep South where bacterial stem canker pressure is just especially high as I do, it is nearly impossible to keep European type, Japanese type and Japanese X Chickasaw hybrids alive very long.

There are many other plum threads that might be helpful, I would suggest using the word “Chickasaw” or maybe “native” in your search string.
