Cherry Plum seedlings results

This thread includes some discussion of seedling cherry plums with a focus on their leaf color, but might be a starting point:

Growing Purple Leaf Plums From Seed

I would like to develop a new purple leaf plum with large edible fruits. Does growing a purple leafed plum from seed require ( or greatly increase the chance ) the seed to be from, or the seed to have been pollinated by, another purple leaf plum? Are the purple leafed “ornamental” varieties that produce small edible fruits pollinated by European or Asian varieties? Will the new seedling have purple / red foliage early on, or does this develop as it matures?
