Help wanted to ID my fruit tree

[Paul_R]

Hi

 

I was hoping someone may be able to help mne identify what the tree is which is growing at the end of my garden.

 

It is around 30 feet tall, blossoms in white around the end of March, and drops small round plum-esque fruit each Summer (around August time).

 

I've attached photos of the leaves and fruit.

 

I was hoping to identify it as I have recently started home brewing wine, so if this is a viable fruit to use for this I should get plenty of stock each year

 

Any help appreciated,

Paul

Victoria Plum, be my guess.

 

One of the subspecies of Prunus domestica

It is what David said is my guess too! Make some plum and ginger jam ..........

[Paul_R]

Excellent! My main concern was that I would collect all the fruit and it would be either poisonous or useless to do anything with...!

 

Now i have some idea, wine and jam making here we come....

 

Many thanks to you both,

Paul

Looks to small for Victoria plum.

Have you got any pics of the hole tree.? the right way up

What time of year were the above pics taken?

Is there any black fly on the tips at the end of July ?

this is a wild plum surely? probably an old root sport?

[Graham]

Have to agree. Far too small for Victoria plum but definitely a plum.

does the fruit have a stone?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

just noticed the base of the stem and position! this is a wild sport from root!

Looks like wild plum. I have a hedge of the stuff.
