Mystery Fruit Tree ID?

[rustylady]

The one fruit in the pictures has grown a bit more the last few days and it is definitely still keeping the ridge at present like bum, so I don't think cherry, but I guess time will tell, I just can't wait that long.

Pardon? I hope you mean plum Mine have only just set, so not really big enough to compare. From memory though, the line on plums is more of a dent than a ridge if you see what I mean.

What is the hurry? You can't eat it until its ripe

Here's the mystery fruit again, obviously grown to almost the size of my fingertip, does this help anyone with ID?

Is it an almond? What colour is the blossom?

[fiskies]

Blossom was white flowers with yellow stems in middle if that's what they're called a bit like in pic

Looks like a green bottom to me!

..yeh- I'm feeling daft tonight!


Almond???....I can see what you mean- but I've never seen an almond tree at a nursery before...I'd still go with something from the plum family.


...this thread's exciting isn't it???..I'm also keen to see what it turns out to be!...forget cherries!

I'm sure my grandmother's tree was a pale pink blossom. However on googling, I found these.

Plum blossom stock photos.


Maybe a gage?

More the bottom pic than the top, this is the last time I buy a mystery plant on sale it's killing me I'm so impatient.

Almonds are furry, aren't they?

The plums on my tree are about fingernail sized at the moment, but they don't have a ridge that deep. However, it could be just a genetic mutation - a one off event. I've eaten prunus fruit that has small ridges, then the next will have a deep ridge... But I doubt it's that. I agree with VVG about it being a Gage, as they're like round plums on fat little stalks.

Hmm... although the leaves and trunk of yours doesn't look like a gage..

[snakeshack]

try having a look round the stock at the GC now and compare,theirs should be at the same stage as yours

[fiskies]

Just googled gage because I've never heard of em and the images I found are very similar with both flowers and fruit and that could be a top shout, I'm glad because apparently they're delicious

Checked on the one fruit which is still growing but about 30% of the other have either gone yellow and shrivelled or fallen off, is this natural for a fruit tee, Ive never had one before.
