My mother has a nectarine tree around 8' high.... this year the fruit set and she has picked a good number of very small fruit. Quite sweet but nowhere near the size of shop bought nectarines. Hers were eaten raw - the ones she gave us = jam.

If it hadn't been for the dash of green on your fruit I might have thought you had a similar tree.

What is the inside of your fruit like? Pips? Stone? And what colour?

Sounds very much like mini nectarines......but someone somewhere will know better. 

A photo of the leaf shape might help too......

Yeah. How much?How long?How strong?

boil a few pounds of them in two or three  pints of water, strain the juice of into a  demijohn, add 8oz of sugar, fill to within a few inches of the top, add a teaspoon of wine makers yeast, put airlock on, after 4 days add water right to the top, ferment until it stops, add stabiliser  and a crushed camden tablet, finings to clear or filter, bottle, leave for 3 months and hey presto you have thingy wotsit wine  

you can get everything you need from wilkinsons or a homebrew shop.

yep, i do. You can use old screw top ones or  buy a cheap corking device - shrink wrap tops are useful whatever you go for. 

[teflon]

Righto .Thanks again.

Looks like we are both asking the same question. What size are the fruits ?

[peterjf]

its one of two thing ,

its either a 2 p piece

or a 10p piece

[flowerpower]

Traditional plum is my guess. We have a couple of trees that produce fruit like that. If they taste good turn them into something fab!
