om...

We have just moved into a house with a large garden in Wiltshire and there
seem to be two trees and shrubs bearing ripe plums.

However, I don't want to be poisoned due to incorrect identification.

Does
anybody know of a website that provides identification? Are any plum-like
bushes/trees poisonous?



You're right to be worried. In Wiltshire in the past it was often the
habit to plant large trees bearing deadly poisonous fruit, solely for
the purpose of killing off any incomers foolish enough to try eating any.
Dig them up now, while you still have the chance.
