Plums
« on: August 06, 2016, 14:46 »
I took my eye off the plum trees as I thought they didn't ripen for another 3 weeks, but whilst I wasn't looking they ripened and everything to walk, crawl , scurry and fly has helped themselves.   :mad:

I managed to rescue a few but now Im confused - I had always assumed from descriptions that they were Warwickshire Drooper but Im begging to wonder if they're actually Yellow Pershore  :wacko:  :unsure:

Anyone familar with either? Picture attached, far right was ripe the odd shape may have been from the pear moth maggot I found when I cut into it  :( flesh doesn't separate from the stone. They're certainly sweet enough to eat when ripe, with an apricot texture / taste.
