Default Damons? Plums?

The message
from K contains these words:

I'm not sure whether mine are wild or alpine (they were already here
when I bought the house) - suspect the latter. In a wet year like this
they can attain the size of marbles, they produce lots of runners (I let
them grow where they will and just heave out an armful when I want to
plant anything), started fruiting in May and are still producing a few
berries. I've even had enough to put a few boxes in the deepfreeze.


Not alpines, then, as they don't produce runners.


That's what I thought, but I've never met wilds this big

From the fruiting regimen it sounds as if you have wild strawbs.

Mine produce some fruit as big as the top joint of my little finger.
