Plum sampling

Those plums ripen at different times so you can’t just show up and expect to try more than one or two at a given time. I have most of those but they either got frozen out or already ripened for this year, except for Emerald Beaut. The PYO and farmers markets tend to have only things like Methley and Shiro and the like. So, not many options. All the plums you mention taste very good though so you can’t really go wrong. Don’t try to grow Flavor Supreme though, you’ll never get any fruit. Also Santa Rosa also produces little; similar better plums are Weeping Santa Rosa and Laroda. I have a long description of my experiences here somewhere.. let see if I can find it.
