What kind of Prunus is this?
« on: August 05, 2016, 05:53:37 PM »
I was visiting a public garden in Stockholm, and plenty of these fell from the tree, so I ate some. Definitely some type of prune. Taste is a mix of sweet and tart, quite enjoyable. The fragrance is different from any plums I've had in the US.
Thanks,

It's a yellow cherry plum - Prunus cerasifera. I would love to be able to find it here and grow. I like the fruit a lot. Used to have it every summer when I was leaving in Ukraine.  :)

Thank you for the information. Obviously, the tree likes the colder climate. I'm wondering if they are grown in the northern USA.

I think this could be as well Prunus domestica syriaca - mirabelle plum, which is commonly confused with Prunus cerasifera
