Just cut this tree for the first time. We couldn't reach the plums and i want to net it this year. With this crazy weather it trying to flower already along with my citrus trees. If interested let me know have every size. I made a air layer that is full of roots. Started air layer about 6 weeks ago 8 dollers gets them to you as many as will fit
Makes reddish purple plums.

I have the exact same wagon as you!! My mother gave it to me for my birthday.It was the most useful gift i ever received. You can really air layer plum trees? I heard segundo and rebusto plums do a great job of holding dormancy. The early warm weather and the late frost we have in South Carolina has wiped out my plums for the past 2 years.  

hiya Richie do you know what kind of plum it is? im looking for a particular plum that would grow in my area thanx

No my sister planted it years ago. They look like the plums a the grocery store but little redder. Nice size. Wait. I am going to call her she may remember. Hold on

I never tried but going to. Research says that some varieties root easily and others can not be rooted. But people like to graft with them.
This is the only plum i have. But i have pare trees. Wonder if i can graft pare onto plum. Getting little bit better on my fig grafting. Fun stuff

Save your efforts - you cannot graft widely different fruits like pears and plums together (well, you can graft them but they would not survive).

Richie - is this more like the Japanese hybrid plums or the prune plums (European plums)?  I suspect it must be a Japanese type, I have heard the European plums do not do well in the South.

Fig Pig you can graft stone fruit trees together plum peach apricot etc .   FYI all citrus can be grafted to each other Google info fruit trees need to be in the same family as well and some nut trees

I have the Japanese plum but its makes a small fruit not much to eat. The plum tree that i pruned makes plums like you see at the grocery store just a shade redder. Japanese plum tree that i have has really long leaves unlike my other plum tree

do you think its self fruitful ? or is it pollinated buy your other tree ?

BAUST Self pollenated ONLY HAVE ONE.

Well i have a Japanese plum about 100 yards away but its totally different. Looks tropical big long dark leaves. Look like it came from the rain forest. Wonder if i can graft them to each other ?

WELL THANKS RICHI 

IT would be cool if the one you pruned could be identified .

as for your other Japanese one I never seen one with long leaves ...  strange

interesting

Richie if its a big oval fruit with red flesh it is probably a Japanese type ..  also  generally a European plum sets blooms in pairs of two ,while Japanese types set in sets of three blooms .

or so I read

Ok this is a Japanese plum. At least in Louisiana

loquat?

Hi Richie,
Good one :) .

Looks like a loquat

Looks like Japanese plum too. Which one is it ? ;))

Search Japanese plum and see what you find

YES THIS IS A Loquat

(Eriobotrya japonica)



.....y

this is a (Prunus salicina) santa rosa  Japanese plum

It seems that a Loquat is sometimes called a Japanese plum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_plum

Loquats (Eriobotrya japonica) are not closely related to plums (Prunus family). I don't think cross pollination or grafting is possible.
