mick2me 3,033 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Bought this tree from Morrisons a few years ago. Height Its now up above first floor of the house, and full of fruit. I've had it so long I forgot what it is? Its not a plumb, but something similar. Can anyone identify it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Nectarine??? Greengage?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 These are not yet ripe Had a few last year but cant remember what colour they were. The branches have some brown hard aphid type things on them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Greenfly with flickknives , whatever next ? Looks like a Greengage to me, failing that Almond. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 failing that Almond. Agree, looks like the Almond tree I had in my garden. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Could be an almond tree, our walnuts look like that before they are fully ripe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VWGolf 21 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Those leaves are of a plum type tree, so guessing it's a damson or greengage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carltongal 101 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 looks like Greengage, complete with special branch aphids Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Looks like a greengage to me and if it is consider yourself lucky; because the fruit of this tree when ripe can taste as sweet as honey from the bee. So find out what it is - if you haven't already done so - and if it is a greengage, guard it and look after it. The Greengage Summer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Walnut? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 It's not a walnut, different leaves, I'm surrounded by black walnut trees and they look very similar to "white" walnut trees. Agreed the fruit bears a strong resemblance to walnuts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
