Meine Früchte an der Zuteilung und im Garten sind dieses Jahr überall. Dies ist ein neuer junger Pflaumenbaum, aber sie sind alle lila geworden und ein Paar sind sogar gefallen. Aber das fühlt sich sehr früh an, Plumbs zu pflücken … was denkst du? Noch ein paar Tage? Diejenigen, die fallen gelassen hatten, waren weicher, aber immer noch etwas schwer anzünden. Es ist ein Prunus domestica Opal.

Try one. If it’s bitter, they’re not ready.
Agree seems early. Though with the year we’re having weather wise may have dragged early fruiting varieties forward.
If they’re soft, they’re ready. If they’re hard, they need longer.
You lucky lucky bar steward.
Those look like tasty Damsons. If they’re soft they make incredible Jam
Mine are this colour and rock hard still.. Definitely not ripe yet.
Pick now would be my advice, stone fruits have been ripening early this year (also you’ll get them before the birds and squirrels!) if not fully ripe then a paper bag on a windowsill should do
Pick them now before the squirrels and birds have a feast, preserve whole in alcohol, or stew them make jam also great in a chutney
The ‘drop’ is usual to naturally thin out the fruit and bulk up the rest of the crop. However Opal are an early variety – so keep fingering your fruit as they are close to picking time – late July to August.
dont wait too long. plums can ripen when picked a bit. the moment they have some give/squishiness try one and if its good pick it. otherwise wasps will eat them
