Re: I'd like to know more about Bullace- what is it?

Sounds more like Cherry-plum (Prunus cerasifera). Bullaces have purple (or sometimes white) fruit.

But the fruit are ripe now (July).
The fruit are round and go from green/yellow, through yellow and to red once ripe. They are beautifully sweet and very similar in taste to a plum.

Could this still be a local Bullace or do you think its something else?
