All,

I have a Burgundy Plum that is a fantastic fast growing tree, and understand that is a heavy producer and a very tasty plum.  However, it only requires 300 chill hours and blooms far, far to early to ever produce fruit in my area. Over the last couple years, I have been slowly removing branches and grafting other cultivars over the Burgundy, I'm up to 12 right now.  This year I will be removing the last three branches and will have a large amount of Scionwood available, each branch is well over 7' tall and cover with last years growth.

This cultivar seems to better suited to a warmer climate then mine unless you just want to have a fast growing beautiful tree that in the colder climates might give you a little fruit if the weather in the spring is just right.

Either way, if anyone is interested, I'm only looking for S&H costs ((Edit) I am always open to trade), I will only ship to the US lower 48.

(EDIT) This is a Japanese Plum and does require a pollinator.

PM me if interested

Scott ,
A great offer! Do you know if those can be grafted onto a nectarine seedling?
What pollinators can be used for this plum?

Greenfig,

Yes, you can graft any Prunis to any Prunis except for cherries although cherries are a Prunis, they are closely not enough related.  My Burgundy has nectarine, peach, apricot, European and other Asian grafted onto it.  In fact, all of my non-cherry Prunis are a hodge-podge of grafts.

Thanks!
As far as pollination, do I need to have several trees on a lot?
What is going to happen if you have only one plum tree?

Greenfig,

Burgundy Plum is self fertile.

tyro,

thank you for your note but in his original post Scott mentioned that 
(EDIT) This is a Japanese Plum and does require a pollinator.

So, I am naturally a bit confused now…
Although, the http://www.davewilson.com/product-information/product/burgundy-plum says the plum is self-fruitful.

Scott, check you PM, please.

My apologies, I always coincided Japanese plums as needing a pollinater. I was mistaken that's it's self fertile, however, you always get a better fruit set with a pollinater.

Thank you, guys, very helpful!
I have a very nice nectarine seedling that was grown from a store bought fruit. It is 2 years old this month. I may need to consider a companion at some point as you mentioned.
Would it help if I graft several varieties onto the same tree? Is it the same as having more than one tree?

Several cultivars on one tree is my favorite way to go. When I first started collecting trees I always grafted pollinators to my trees, it saved space for more cultivars. I now have many trees, most with several cultivars grafted on.  To answer the question, a grafted scion stayes true to it's cultivar, so two cultivars on one tree is really two trees in one. The scion does take on the caricterists of the rootstock it's grafted to, for example, dwarfing, soil tolerance, resistance to nematodes and so on.

All cuttings gone, I'll be shipping out on Monday unless other arrangements were made. 

Thanks everyone

Scott
