At the end of our road on a patch of council land is a tree that bears yellow/green plum-like fruit at this time of year. In flavour they are exceeding sweet and delicious and doth greatly please the palate. The ripe fruit are most wondrously uniform in size being all nearly exactly three barleycorns in length, or one inch in the modern parlance, and a little less in width by the measure of one half of a barleycorn.
The court artist has, at our command, made the most perfect representation of the fruit and leaves which can be viewed in the following galleries.
So what are they and how does one grow them? I'd like to either grow some from the stones in the fruit if that's possible although Google seems to think that doesn't always result in a true copy of the parent plant, or from cuttings, so I can take them with me when I move house.
