plumtree-tragedy

Today is a sad day indeed.
I have been harvesting plums from a a prolific tree for the last 4 years.
The tree is (was) in an unusual position situated on a small industrial estate surrounded by workshops etc... and to my horror when I went today to collect some plums the tree had been felled!
I cannot understand why this has happened as the tree did not interfere with any buildings whatsoever!
I am assuming it was cut by the council.
Anyway, I managed to salvage some plums from the floor and I would like to know if, it's possible to grow a tree from the plum stones.
I think this would be wonderful as a legacy to the tree itself.
regards

If the plums are ripe you'll get a tree but it might not be exactly the same.
In the sticks near Peterborough
They were ripe.
Don't really mind so long as there is a possibility of growing trees.
