We have a big plum with purple leaves and I have zillions of seedlings from it. I don't know the name of this plum. Any ideas?

There are a lot of ornamental plums and cherry plums with purple foliage.

What do the fruits look like?

Jocie, plums, as with most fruit, do not come true from seed.

RainTree Nursery sells a purple leafed plum called Hollywood

A few years ago, they sold a few Japanese plums that were crossed with some plums from Russia. I recall that at least one of them had purple leaves. You coould contact them for a name.
