Those look just like my plums in IL. I have no clue what kind they are but I am trying to grow some trees from the pits. We will see what happens

What process are you using ? I saw something about wrapping the pits in a wet paper towel and keeping them in the fridge before potting them. That what you're doing ?
That’s exactly what I did. I put 9 of them in my fridge wrapped in a wet paper towel. Instructions I read was to leave them in there for 6-8 weeks checking occasionally to make sure they aren’t sprouting.
From there they go into pots.
I saw your comment about seeing if deer like them. I hear they are a huge draw for all wildlife. I can only imagine, because mine were delicious.
I started a thread on this process yesterday so I’ll keep it updated in 6-8 weeks

I am just guessing but I would imagine Sam's plums are American plums and not Chickasaws. That is all I've ever seen in the wild in my part of West Central Illinois and also NEMO. I think everything eats them around here, I've heard that deer love them but coons do to.
I plan on trying some seedlings from Missouri Dept of Conservation this year.
