  • Can anyone identify these?

    Went for a walk this afternoon and came across some trees/bush covered in these fruits. I presume they're two different fruits but it was hard to tell if they came from a different tree because they were so crammed together.

    I'm thinking maybe the red ones are wild plums, not sure on the round ones though. Any ideas?

    I ate some of them and they're quite nice Am I going to die???

    I know them as Cherry Plums....not sure if that's the proper name but that's what my family always called the wild trees that were near us, they're yummy!
    Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!

      Yep - cherry plums - nice on their own, fantastic in jam and make a superb chutney. Fill your pockets!

            We have these around our school field. Being the only one there at this time of year means I get them all. If I can beat the wasps, any rate!

              Are the yellow ones the same fruit as the red ones then?? Or different types?

                Same fruit, just at a different stage.

                  Different cultivars, different colour fruit: yellow, red or dark purple apparently Cherry plum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
