A plant-related question

[weebleflip]

So, I have a tree in my garden that looks to me like it *might* be a plum tree.

It has yellowy-green, not-quite-ripe fruit on it that look and smell like plums.
It has reddy-brown bark and pointed-oval leaves around two inches long, with serrated edges.

I'd say plum or greengage :) Not sure which one though!
You can tell it is a prunus (cherry family) by leaves and bark (and fruit of course).

Hehe - worth a try once they look ripe, then! Cheers :)

greengages do stay green, but go a little yellowy and are very sweet. Hope it's a nice one whatever sort of plummy thing it is! :)

Greengage I think - ask the neighbor, maybe they have been taking the fruit from their side of the fence.

Greengage I think. You'll find out when they ripen! Nice to have!

Thanks, all :)Hopefully they'll be ripe in time for me to make use of some before going to France! I'm sure my housemate will if not.
