This is the fun part. There are many selections of plum trees, each with their own fruit color, flavor, ripening time, and more. What really determines the type you should choose is how you want to use them. Most are good for snacking. Others are great for desserts, canning, dried fruits, making jam, jelly, and preserves, and salads.

Methley plum produces large fruit with deep reddish-purple skin and very sweet and juicy flesh that is excellent for fresh eating, pies, jams, jellies and preserves. The Methley Plum is known for being a very heavy producer. Its yearly fruit is so abundant that you will need to harvest it multiple times each year. A self-fertile tree, the Methley does not require another plum tree to produce fruit. Because only one tree is needed for large fruit harvests, it is perfect even for a smaller yard.
