Reply: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.

Reply: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.
