As a frequent lurker, I have learnt a huge amount from posters here - thanks
to all who take so much trouble.

I wonder if anyone could help me identify a tree which has been at the
bottom of our garden for all of the 20 years we have lived here. It is very
large and apart from a rather feeble white blossom each Spring has never
produced anything. However, this year we were astounded to find masses of
"fruit", slightly larger than cherry tomatoes and the same round shape they
go from green to yellow to red. In the interests of science I gave one to
my husband to taste :-) and when he survived I tried one myself and they
have a delicate, plum-like flavour.

Sorry I'm not able to post a photo anywhere, but wonder if anyone knows what
it might be. Although they are a similar size to damsons, they do not go
dark blue and are much, much sweeter.
