Sure this is it. Nice one K. They are used as a hedging / tree locally and
no one eats them. So much fruit that branches droop and piles appear on
the
floor. We're doing our best but there is only so much you can eat, jam,
freeze etc.

I'd have thought cherry plums were smaller than damsons. But they are used
as hedging.

I'd have guessed at cherry plumbs with the fruit colour variation.

There are a lot around me, I always wondered why they were not sold in the
shops, to be told that they are to unreliable croppers, But have since seen
fruit nursery's selling named varieties
