Sloes/damsons (slightly OT)
In article , Jennifer Sparkes writes: | The message | from "Sue" contains these words: | | I wondered about bullace but isn't a bullace more of a greeny colour? | (outside I mean). I am just about to jam them now anyway. | | IIRC this came up this time last year and surprised me. | | If you look at Bullace in Google Images they show both colours ... That would figure. Clapham, Tutin and Warberg says that they are usually blue-black or purple - with the implication that they sometimes aren't. As they are ancestral to all modern plums (including greengages etc.), it isn't surprising if they have a similar range of colours. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
