1443242 2017-12-10 19:47:00 The leaves do look like plums.
If you really want to be certain though, take that leaf and fruit down to your local garden centre, they'll tell you.

1443244 2017-12-10 20:14:00 Well bugger me george, I would never in a thousand years thought it might be a plum. But evidence is indicating it could well be. Wikipedia shows the leaf almost identical to a mirabelle variety of plum, which comes in a small yellow sort of fruit. I sure hope this is right cos the tree is loaded with the things, and I love plums. But I'll check with the greengrocer first before I risk tucking in.

Thanks for the replies. :thumbs:

1443248 2017-12-10 22:56:00 Zippity said greengage plum. When I was a kid we had both greengage and yellowgage plums growing. I loved the fruit from both but the yellow ones were softer and a bit sweeter. Check out yellow gage plum. Marnie (4574)
