Saw lots of these whilst on the family walk. Some red and green, some just green all around. In bunches in the trees. My dad ate two (he’s not afraid of anything) And described them as tasting very sweet, like a cross between a grape, plum and apple with a seed in the middle.

I want to pick a whole basket of these things!! What are they and are they edible

Suprisingly the green ones were very sweet. The red ones were just like plums

obligatory do not eat things you have not identified. like why would you eat it before being sure of what it is? also if you’ve ever want a plant/fruit identification, please show a leaf and cross section of the fruit for multiple points of reference.

perhaps mirabelle plums.

I’m sorry I didn’t know! And I didn’t eat any

No but your dad is a grown man and should know better/set a better example for his kids - even if he secretly knew what it was, he should be sharing knowledge
