I used to live in California and we had a field of cherry plum trees in our backyard. I used to go out and pick them every year, eat them and freeze them so that I could eat them in the winter time. Now I live in Arkansas and I can not find any around or any websites that sell the trees and I would love to get a few to plant in our back yard for my kids. If you know of where I could buy some please let me know.
Thanks,
Charlee

Nice to meet you Megan! I hope you come back to visit and comment in the future.

Katrina, give those poor little yellow plums a try. Sometimes they can be mushy, but with a little sugar everything tastes better.

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. I’m not even sure how I came across it, but I check it regularly. As a new gardener, I love reading your tips and treasures.

I have a crab apple tree in my front yard. Probably can’t get much from those =)

Thanks!

The jam looks delicious. You’ve given me inspiration to check out some orphaned yellow plum trees this weekend that could be my next victims of jam. Oh, and I love your recipe – a pot and a handful. That’s cooking at my house. Thanks.

It’s good to hear of others taking advantage of the wild foods out there too. SJones, you and your rabbit stories are too funny. I’m just picturing growling rabbits just ready to bite your leg off.

Sinfonian, what is plum buckle? Our Santa Rosa Weeping Plum is about a week away from being ripe, so I’d appreciate more ways to use plums.
