Transplanting Plum Suckers Pt 1

In this video I demonstrate how to dig up plum suckers which will be used for rootstock for plum and plumcot cultivars. The first plum tree I dig up is a Munson Plum (Prunus monsonia) which also have "Hog Plum" and "Wild Goose Plum" as common dames depending on where you are. I believe that the term "Wild Goose Plum" began as a variety name for specific cultivar of Munson Plum, but a nursery has since spread seedlings with the Wild Goose name attached to them all over the country. My original tree originated as a sucker from one such seedling. The fruit quality is so terrible that I'm sure that it's more like the original wild type than the cultivar seed parent. While wild Monson plum trees growing the Eastern Texas part of its growing range are locally called "Hog Plums, it is not the same as the Hog Plums native to Southern Georgia and Northern Florida. That species is Prunus umbelatta. That said there is a debate among plant taxonomists about whether P. umbelatta and P. munsonia are just regional variants of the same species. What I can tell you as a person trained in plant taxonomy at the master's level is that vegetatively the two don't look alike, and P. umbelatta does not sucker and does not form thickets, while P. munsonia suckers like crazy and naturally forms big thickets of very thorny trees. The strain I have makes fire engine red fruit which tastes terrible. The other little tree I dug up is Mariana 2624 Rootstock. My original tree came from the nursery Trees of Antiquity out of California as a rootstock of a mislabeled Asian type plum which closely but not exactly matches the description of Methley. Note that sucker from a grafted cultivar is going to be the rootstock. They way that I know that this rootstock is Mariana 2624 is because Trees of Antiquity graft their own trees and their website states that all of their plums are grafted onto Mariana 2624. And yes, I somehow ended up with the most beautiful, fertile, black sandy loam soil in the county for which I am thankful. If you enjoy the video, please, subscribe and leave a comment.
