danw 1,748 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 could be a damson! sloes are bitter,he said it was like a grape,grapes are sweet,sloes are not. Looks like damson to me too if it is a sloe it definitely wont taste sweet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jac 12 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 thanks guys. its not a sloe. its got a lovely sweet taste so i think it is a Damson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
"Earth!" 503 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 looks like a damson to me they look very similar but the taste is totally the opposite.damson being plum like in taste and a better berry for vodca,gin or a jam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hairyface 211 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 i think they are bullaces, very similar to sloes but they are bigger and sweet, put 1.5lb of them with 1.5lb of sugar in a plastic 2litre pepsi bottle with 1 litre of vodka, leave till xmas and it will be awesome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bert the fert 28 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 found a few trees a couple of weeks ago, fruit was yellow colour about an inch in size fully ripe, tasted like plums,i take it these are damsons? If they're fully ripe when yellow, then they're probably greengages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
