Feb week of heat had my plum tree bloom. March week of frost killed them. No plums again this year 😣. Might as well cut the tree down.

The other problem here has nothing to do with the zones. If the tree/plant can't tolerate alkaline soils, it doesn't matter how cold hardy it is, it won't survive here.

As interesting as it may be, they are located in New Mexico and do not offer shipping.

it was just an example. they seemed to have good info.

wanted to add Siberian C is also used for cold hardy root stock and it's said to produce true from pit. Makes the variety appealing to me.

The information I found is "was used for cold hardy root stock and reproduces mostly true from the seed". I suspect finding anything more than someone who claims to be willing to sell you seeds for $25 each is about as far as it goes now.

@R2elk some more info for you. I asked a couple friends and the replies are starting to come in. so perhaps more to follow?

Recommended to paint the trunks white with watered down latex and shelter the south west side from direct sun. I provided that info in one of the above links for you already though.

@R2elk more reasonable price on Siberian C. I haven't purchased any yet so don't know shipping charge.
