Well, a park and Sainsbury's car park to be honest. No photos but I'll try
a description and see if we're going to die or not...

Tree, approx 20ft. Dark green smallish leaves. Fruits either ripen to a
dark cherry red or a very splendid yellow. Much like a small plum about
the size of a cherry tomato. Taste like plums but not as strong... Small
stone inside.

These seem to be everywhere at the moment with little piles of fruit below
as no one else seems to be eating them. Seen them on roadsides driving
about as well as the aforementioned places..

Any ideas?

Damson or Bullace

Damsons are usually purple.

What shape? Plum shape or rounder? Could be cherry plum - myrobalan
