Answer 2

Give careful consideration to what type of plum tree is best for you. Buying a plum tree which might grow to 9m (30ft) tall producing masses of cooking plums is not a good idea if you have a small garden and want eating plums! The three key factors in choosing a plum tree are size, taste and pollination. GardenAction explains all three.

Answer 3

DO YOU NEED THE NAMES?
Because I am from Holland and we have many plumb growers here and they develop every five years new species of them by crossbreeding them.
Green:Reine Claude
red:The big red
Purple:may plumb
yellow:forgot the name
Orange,ditto
And combination colors
I think I have seen at least 20 kinds of plumbs.
