I'm going to package up a couple of the representative plums tightly sealed in plastic and ask. I still think some of them look like the Plum Pox pictures, but it looks like they're real sure there's no Plum Pox on this side of the continent.

I understand why my county would be especially humorless. We've got this burgeoning appelation thing going on, and it looks like what used to be this cool but obscure hobby industry is struggling to position itself like the great wine regions of France or something.

Also, we got really slammed in the medfly and sudden oak death deals, and we're getting hit less hard but annoyingly over the brown apple moth.
