George;

What variety of Plums do you have success with? I think we live
fairly close together in Louisiana. Is it Santa Rosa?

I have a Santa Rosa as the pollination partner to my Bruce Plum. Both
are supposed to be a Japanese variety as compared to the European plums.
So far the Santa Rosa has been struggling, the trunk is only about one
inch in diameter now, but the Bruce manages to give us a dozen or so
plums each year as it grows. Both are dwarf trees, I grow mostly dwarf
trees as they take up less room. Once the Santa Rosa catches up to the
Bruce I expect larger crops from the two of them.

LSU ag has some recommendations on fruit trees for various parts of
Louisiana.
