I signed up to this forum purely for this subject. I live just south of Great Yarmouth and from an early age have always known Bullaces to start off green and ripen to either yellow or purple. The yellow always seems to ripen and drop shortly before the purple and the trees are always found together in hedgerows and alongside long abandoned

My late Grandmother used to make some lovely jam from these and she spoke of having them back in her native Holland during the German occupation. It's such a shame I cannot remember if she had a Dutch name for them or if she used Bullace too.

Lovely reading about them and hearing peoples stories from days gone by. Locally I now know of nobody else that has even heard of these plentiful fruit (all the more for me though)
