Plum seeds (pits) need to be cold stratified, or go through a winter, before they will break dormancy and germinate. You can plant them now, marking the spot, and then start watching for a sprout next spring. If you don't live where there is winter, plum trees will not be happy there.
You can buy plum tree seedlings for about $10, though. Arbordayfoundation.org has a great tree store, with very reasonable prices. They ship in spring and fall, and they are reliable stock. I've got about a dozen fruit trees in my yard from them.
Plums grow fast, and will start producing usually at 3 years old.

probability is, no. First, maximum advertisement fruit timber do no longer propagate properly from seeds, they are propagated by using grafting branches of one tree, onto a better root-base of yet another tree. you may attempt to start up seeds(or pits), yet probability is the fruit in basic terms isn't like the verify tree. in case you opt for to do this, position your pits in potting soil in a zipper-lock bag in the refrigerator for 3 months to trick the pits into questioning they went by a iciness era. Pits with thick shells like peach or nectarine might want to opt for to be cracked first formerly planting. you'll opt for to time this, so that you plant your seeds 3 months formerly the perfect frost. in case you try to iciness your seeds in the course of the summer time, they're going to sprout in overdue fall, and look at seedlings wanting planting in the iciness, which isn't a sturdy theory. also, various cherry timber, and some nectarine and apricots and so on aren't from now on self-pollinating. some are both male or lady. you'd be extra effective off paying for a fruit tree from a respected grower, that way you recognize what you receives. sturdy luck.
