Hi Ed,
    I checked my Texas Ag.Extension Service booklet #B-5079, Fruit Gardening in
the Landscape, and found these varieties recommended for Central Texas:
    Morris, Methley, Ozark, Premier, Bruce, Allred.
    The booklet also suggests that any plum planted in Texas be one that is
grafted on
Nemagaurd root stock.
    Hope this helps. No Latin names listed for these varieties.
