  • felt plums

    Hi
    We have a plum tree..about five years old, don't know what type as it came with the house.
    Any way, it blossomed early this year and fruited for the first time, about 30% of the fruits are normal ie small, round and firm, but the rest are larger, flattened and have a waxy feeling felty appearance.... on cutting one open it had a full size plum stone cavaty with a tiny flat stone/seed in it.
    In all other respects the tree appears fine.
    Any one got any ideas...I checked out other parts of the forum but nothing similar.

    I'm confused! No way should plums be ready to harvest yet. They ripen from late July to September. I have an inherited plum tree in my garden, which I think is a Victoria. Excellent crop last year, and I have tiny plums on it now, very small, very green, but I'm hoping they will grow. By the way, anyone got any good recipes for jams, chutneys etc?

      Puzzled myself. Our fruit is still small and green.
      Earliest it is ready is end of August.
      Got lots of recipes for plums, greengages and damsons.

        It sounds like an ornamental ALmond or something like that. We have them in the town here.

        I wonder if it was grafted on to this and the stock is taking over the plum?

          Hi
          The "plums" on the tree started of plum colour strieght away, both the formed ones and the "strange" ones...!
          must admit i'm a bit baffled, allso noticed the tree has a few very large spikes on it but only on its main lower trunk, is that usual for a plum tree...?
