What is
this fruit? I picked them from a tree in a hedge by my garden. There is not a
single thorn on the tree, so the tree is not a blackthorn. It’s a plum tree. But
the fruits are too small to be sweet plums and too big to be sloes. The fruit
is more sour than plums but less bitter than sloes. Nevertheless, they are very
good with apples and blackberries in jam. (I did cut out the little worms first.)
