I wonder if anyone here could please help me to identify this fruit
before my friend, who has made jam out of it, poisens himself.
I think I have persuaded him to wait until we have some idea what it
is.


The bush is more than 15years old , possibly many decades old, in an
old garden near Nottingham.
Pictures are to be found he

Ornamental crab apple, should be fine to use.


thanks for your response. The problem is that it has a single hard
stone , like a plum. i have put another pic on the same place.

It's not a crab apple, I do not recognise it and until I did I wouldn't
make jam from it, let alone eat it!
