"I put this to the office for their comments...here was the overall consensus:
"'We talked to Wilbert about this variety - he says it's a very old cultivar. I don't foresee it becoming a variety that will be put through the paces to become a virus-tested and available to the US market.'

This sounds like an interesting
plum.
Do any of you know of a source in the USA?
Canadian growers would need a virus certified source to ship
to the USA.

Jim, I'm not familiar
with this plum, but it also goes by the name
'Homesteader'. It is supposed to have a green skin
with a red blush. I imagine the green turns to a
yellowish
green when it is fully ripe. It is sold by
DNA Gardens in Canada. Some sources say it is hardy to
Zone 2. -- Sam
