Japanese varieties bloom and ripen earliest. They require another variety for pollination as noted. European plums are more hardy, later blooming, later ripening, and self-fertile. Use fresh, canned or dried into prunes. For the greatest success, choose European varieties for higher elevations and cold micro-climates. Lower areas and valley growers may plant any variety. Harvest 3rd to 4th year. All are semi-dwarf on Citation rootstock, except Imperial (standard on Myro 29C, reaching 15-25' if unpruned). Unpruned, semi-dwarf trees reach 3/4 of standard size (about 8-14'). By pruning, keep any tree to any size.
