What is the name of that again? Would it work on crab apples?

I’m following this thread now. Plums were some unknown fruit to me until I found the one on dad’s place. I plan to put some of the seeds in dirt.
Is that fruit still on the tree? Dad’s is bare of fruit in August.

Anyone plant Plum that are a different variety (other than Wild Plum and American Plum)? I've planted a couple in se mn that have good tasting, large fruits, but they were damaged severely by the past few winters. I don't know if I'll ever see another fruit off them or not. You might have a chance if they are for your Iowa farm. I can check the varieties tomorrow if you are interested. They really did taste good, but I don't think they are as harsh as apples.

In the same park reserve where I’ve been getting the ROD cuttings there were some large plum thickets along the trail. I was trying to time the fruit drop last year to collect some for my land. They went from almost ripe to wiped out in a couple days by the critters. Unfortunately the county just clear cut all the thickets this winter. Fruit producing Crabapples and plums gone for reasons I can’t determine, perhaps they were obstructing the view of the grasslands? I’ll have to scout a bit off the trail this year.

When I was a kid Dad grew named varieties of plums (don't remember what they were). They'd produce great for a couple years, then they'd get disease (Dad sprayed all of our fruit trees pretty regularly too) and be dead. He gave up on them eventually.
There are hardy varieties of plums that will survive (for a few years anyway) up here, but I have no direct experience with them.

We planted a lot of Plum as part of a large CRP tree planting in early 2000's. No cages, tubes etc... Luckily not many deer on that farm at the time. Plum is an exceptional shrub, for wildlife. I would include a row in almost every shelterbelt or tree line/screen. I'd like to add a few plum besides American, on my new place. I have heard Toka, Pipestone, but do not know much about that variety.

SLN sells a number of cold hardy plums. I'm not advocating for or against SLN as a source, but they do at least offer info on what varieties to check out.
I believe I have both American and Canadian wild plums here. They are great wildlife shrubs.
