Cherry Plums

3kg of Cherry Plums picked in 10 mins and plenty more available. Cherry Plum or Prunus cerasifera Wild trees can be large or small reaching 6-15 meters tall, one of the first European trees to flower in spring, often starting in mid-February, it is easily spotted. The flowers are white with five petals and the fruit is drupe 2 or 3 cm in diameter and are yellow through to red in colour ready to eat from early July. A welcome early harvest.
