Looks yummy  :) What variety are they, and how old is the tree?

[Carol]

Victoria Plum  I think!!!   We planted it 3 years ago.  Before that we had another Plum which produced loads of fruit, but in its last year it had too too many fruit.  I didn't know what to do with all the plums and ended up giving them away from the local Butchers shop.  The Tree promptly died on us, twas a shame!!

Told my lottie neighbour about this, Carol - he was given a plum tree for his birthday and doubted it would fruit much "up here" (He's English!!) so since you're only a stone's throw away he's now hopeful.  Great pic too can feel the juices running down my chin ....

[Carol]

oh Wicker, they grow fine up here.  Neighbours round about me have Plum Trees as well.  My apples are superb too but lost a lot in the gales this week, the big uns fell off and now the blackbirds are gettin them!!!

If they're falling off the trees they're more than ready to eat.

I want a plum tree for my husband's 25th wedding anniversary present.  It was in July but you can't rush these things  :)  Trouble is what variety?  I like the sound of a french variety but the name escapes me

[Carol]

Robert, tell me, have you always been smart?  Really, I do know that apples fall off trees when they are ripe.  But what you don't know is I am trying to keep the d**n things on the tree for a reason.  I shall not divulge the reason.
