I've got an ancient tree in my garden that produces fruit at this time of year. They grow in clusters, and look like small round plums, burgundy/green skins with a plum like stone in the middle, but a distinctive peachy taste. I've also got a Victoria plum tree and these are different. Any ideas please?
Plum tree - what type is it?
It sounds like Damson, probably either D. Farleigh or
D Shropshire.

Reply:From your description it sounds like a Damson. Great for making Jam.
Reply:Greengage?
or are these perhaps another variety of plum, such as Warwickshire Drooper (an old variety of plum a bit like a Victoria but sweeter).
Reply:Possibly damsons, we have a tree we thought was aplum, but the fruit are smaller and purply in colour.
Reply:It could be a pluot- that is a cross between a plum and an apricot. It look most like a plum. Sorry I don't know variety names. A picture might be helpful.
