Hog or chickasaw plums?

Our plum trees are really loaded this year. I've always assumed they were hog plums, but there might be other varieties out there. The flowers did appear a bit different on some of the trees. I keep forgetting to take cuttings with me when I go to town so I can ask the extension agent.

Most of the fruits are green yet.


There are a few just about ripe.

Hopefully, the plum curculios won't find them and the birds will leave some for us. According to the Texas Native Plants Database, they produce 'heavy crops of fruit only every 3 or 4 years', so it's pretty much now or never. So far, I haven't found much in the way of recipes, but I'll keep looking as long as there are plums to be picked.
