    I have a source for quite a bit of Ornamental Plum, I was wondering if it's any good to use for smoking?

    Not recommended.

    This is not a true fruit bearing wood.  Plus with normal stone fruit woods you really need to use them within a month or so of cutting since they lose the sugar rapidly.
