    If they germinate I'm afraid that the chances of them producing plums as good as the ones they came from is slim at best:( as to get the exact same cultivar you would have to use a form of vegetative propagation such as grafting due to cultivars not coming true from seed.

    Your best bet is to go to the shop/market where you bought them and find out what the cultivar was:thmb:
