ID for yellow fruit?

Any pic available? I take it that it is a stoned fruit like a plum? Sounds like a Mirabelle cherry plum - the gold/yellow version...."Golden Sphere"..but a pic would help if poss..

I had a proper plum tree at one point which reverted to wild and since then several trees have sprung up round it, all with little yellow plums. Quite tasty. The original tree was a Victoria if I remember rightly.

Chances are Cestina that your original tree was grafted onto the old and popular dwarfing St Julian rootstock and IT survived from below the graft and the suckers from it produced the yellow plum you describe.

Could be what I used to call a Green Gage. I have not seen these for a long time and wonder if my name was just a local one.

Could be Bulbaholic. There are a couple of yellow gages such as Ouillin's Golden Gage as well as a couple more. There are yellow fruiting forms of the Mirabelle as Alzheimer says such as Golden Sphere.

I would doubt if it is a greengage - I grow them here and the flavour is unique and as they are widely available in supermarkets nowadays..I doubt if it could be mistaken, although of course when fully ripe some varieties do go sulphur yellow...and VERY juicy ...and distinctive.
The Mirabelle on the other hand is much less widely known and grown and is a true yellow and firm drupe .

Mg has just made a similar comment to me. The ones I remember were very eatable, more so because they were in a neighbours garden!

Aha...neighbour's fruits are always sweeter are they not!!!!! For some years I had the devil's own job harvesting my own greengages etc - in my walled garden until I used the simple ploy of shaking a bag of flour lightly over the trees....the local rascals assumed it was insecticide....and thereafter left them alone!!!!

C-l-e-v-e-r!

Thanks everyone. Don't think it's greengage - but it could be. I'll get a pic tomorrow.
