name that fruit.....

[Guest guest]

While visiting my brother on Lake Goodwin, near Stanwood, yesterday he took me

over to a tree and asked me " what are these " ? Observing them on the tree I said

" Rainier Cherries " , but then I tasted one and it was a plum! It was the size of

a cherry, was yellow with red blush, but the " meat " stuck to the pit like a plum

as was the " meat " like that of plums. I did clean a pit off and it looks

exactly like a cherry pit.

 

Some of them were all yellow and turned out to be the sweetest, but even the

softer, more burgundy/red ones were very tasty.

 

I'm going to remember that tree and get out there earlier in the season to

partake of the good stuff!

 

Anyone have a clue what type of plum these are?

Like a yorkypoo or a puggle . . . .
