MargaretD Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Does anyone know if these spherical orange things are plums. We've had this tree in our garden for at least seven years, but I never realised it gave fruit (never been here at this time of year) They are about 1 inch in diameter. They tast a little like a plum, and have a small plum like stone in the middle, and I don't think they're poisonous as I haven't died yet! But I would like to know what they are as I can't find them anywhere on the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Sound as though they might be Mirabelle, small plum like fruit that make lovely jam and also used for a plum type brandy [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargaretD Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Thank you. Sadly, I've eaten my way through the couple of dozen that were on the tree. Not enough left for jam or far brandy!But, at least I know for next June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I've got loads on our trees this year, far more than ever before - but they are showing no sign of ripening yet [:(] You can buy Mirabelle jam in most supermarkets if you want to taste it.
