| Matt, Here are the plums that can handle to zone 4: Toka (AKA Bubblegum) very sweet and juicy, Superior, Starkbros beach plum, Pipestone, and Alderman. I like Toka and Superior. Tony |

| I know a lacresent hybrid plum (american)...it will handle zone 4 as will a bunch of the hybrids...Fedco probobly has the best collection of hardy plums. Everyone seems to really like superior. |

| Here is a description friend emailed me of his plum that I have yet to try, but definitely want to... ---------------------- The most impressive fruit I have so far (besides the raspberries) is the black ice plum. If you don't have this tree it is a must! I got fruit off of mine last year and it was unreal. The juiciest and sweetest plum you could imagine (like a really ripe store bought purple one that drips with juice!) These were so sweet and juicy that they actually had sugar crystals formed by the pit. It was stunning. I made sure I had a second tree of this. They are also the same size as the store bought plums so very nice for eating, not like a wild plum with small flesh and a big pit. |

| Superior is great, but it cracks, the fruit falls when its ripe... but for flavor is outstanding. Alderman is ...meh... its decent but nothing I write home about. There is Toka, Waneta, Underwood, Pipestone and a host of others that i've never tried. I'd love to see a hardy red fleshed plum. |
