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

My Mother-in-law (bless her) swore that Bullaces made by far the best 'Country Wine' and made gallons of it every year.
I remember it being quite strong but not ver flavoursome!

The Bullace is a 'Wild Plum', a term which covers a range of small trees and shrubs under the title Prunus domestica. These include Plums, Damsons, Greengages and Bullaces.

Two forms have been given the sub-specific names of institia and italica. But the whole group is so interbred that it is almost impossible to name individual shrubs.
