There are a couple of trees on our land which occasionally bear
fruit.
I've
never bothered with them before, but as they're loaded this year I
tried
some
and they were very tasty. They are small (smaller than a walnut -
around
2.5 cm
across) and green with the riper ones aquiring a slight yellow
tinge.
I think they must be greengages, although my wife will not eat them
as she
says
they are too small and might be some kind of non edible variety.
Can anyone tell me if this is likely as she is giving me doubts?
They just taste like a very nice plum to me.
Thank you.


Your wife is correct greengages are rather horrible, if you pick them
all, I
will be round shortly to take them away and relieve her and you of the
terrible task of having to eat them.

I have a few plums and one greengage (on Pixie rootstock), called
Dennistoun's Superb. It doesn't perform too well, it's only eight years
old but it is my prize fruit because each fruit is light green, is as
big as a plum and absolutely succulent, sweet and delicious. Only
twelve on it this year, it must be resting.
Tsk and damn!.
