Some damsons are round! Except for the damson/bullace, I don't know
of any plums with deep purple fruit that is 2 cm in diameter or more.
Unless there is a form of P. cerasifera that my books don't mention.

I found this re damsons. To me plums aren't as deep a colour as this:

They are similar, but not easy to tell, I should maybe get a leaf off
the tree?
