It is in the unreleased collection of the University of California, and so you will only find this amongst hobbyists.

Even though the Tachina plum can be argued as a prune, because it is European type (
P. domestica) in terms of parentage, it can be called a plum because it is best eaten fresh. The plum moniker indicates that this is designed for the fresh fruit market. But plum or prune, I will try them fresh and dried. Hoping for some fruits in the Fall of next year.
