What cultivar of plum is this? Is it a hybrid?

I grew several trees from some really sweet tasting small plum fruits 5-6 years ago but don’t know the variety or cultivar? It looks like a plum hybrid to me but what is your best guess on any specific cultivar? I know plums are not true to seed but this seems like a good surprise.

It is a seedling, not a cultivar. Based on your photos, there are many possibilities for the parents. Plums have been bred and cross-bred for millennia. Therefore, it is likely of hybrid origin.

Looks like a European plum. Victoria?

It tasted like a pluot but not as sweet. Very low acidity, mildly sweet the and texture was firm and apricotish …somewhat similar to flavor grenade or golden nectar plum. Seed was tiny and was a clingstone. I am guessing I picked it a couple of weeks too soon. Hoping I will get a better idea of sweetness next year or so.

This seedling plum hybrid is doing better this year. Hoping for a better fruit set next year
