Sounds like what the French call Mirabelles, small round plums from

That was my thought also.


Do they come in 3 colours (red yellow and green? We have some locally
that were obviously planted by the council to form a kind of high hedge.
Small round fruit about 10 mm in diameter but began dropping about a

certainly weren't interested, so I left them alone too.
