Prunus Serotina Success! Grafting Plum on Timber Cherry!

It says “Gary’s Plum” he bought the house with the plum trees there already. I can get some pictures of the trees.
He didn’t know what Mirabelle plums were, and I didn’t know when I got to the cuttings, but the description matches in my opinion.
They’re extremely suckering from the roots, and even far from the trees, he has 3 large ones and assumes that at least 2 are actually the same tree even though they’re 15 and 25 feet apart in a straight line.

They make ping-pong ball sized, yellow, candy-sweet, spherical plums.

And I also dug up a lot of the suckers and planted in places around my parents’ property too.

Here’s a photo of this plum (Mirabelle probably) grafted onto what’s supposed to be an Italian plum that had never made fruit, and I was trying to give it a pollinator.
