  • Help Identifying Fruit Trees!

    Hello!
    I am a very novice 'gardener', can't even call myself that if im honest haha.
    We have moved into a house and have 3 fruit trees in the garden. To me they look like apples (very small and I would like to know what type if possrible), plums (still green and hard) and possibly cherries but not sure if they're edible!

    If anyone could help me identify them that'd be greatly appreciated! Click image for larger version

      Hello and welcome
      You're not such a novice after all as you're correct with your identification
      All apples look like yours at the moment so its not possible to even guess what they may be. Wait and see.
      Lovely crop of plums!

        Hi and welcome to the vine.

        These are only my guesses/opinion. The apple looks to be a possible candidate for Bramley. The only pale cherry I know of is white heart (amazed the birds haven't eaten them) if you squeeze them gently and they give they are ripe, if you are brave and bite into one it should be sweet. I don't actually know of any cherries that will harm you just ones that are sour and best used for preserves. On the grounds of the other two being quite mainstream I wouldn't be surprised if the plum was Victoria but really need to see ripe fruit.

          Aha! My parents have plum trees but I've only ever seen them ripe, I hope they are! I love plums!
          Thanks for your reply

            Yes I guess I am being a bit impatient, none of them are ripe obviously. Some of the cherries are a very bright red, I did open a red one up earlier and it was white inside. I'm a little wary to try them incase they'll make me ill or something.
            Looking forward to the plums however!

              The cheery looks like it could be Napoleon Bigarreau. I had one of these but I had to chuck last year as it had canker.

                Have your other half taste the cherry. That way if it's poisonous YOU will be ok. As others have said when the plums and apples are ripe they will be easier if not easy to identify the variety.

                    My unripe Stella cherries look almost identical to those at the moment.

                    Plum should be relatively easy to ID once ripe and so should the apple if it is a common variety
