We have had this tree for several years and it is now producing fruit. I'd like to know if the fruit is edible. It has never produced fruit before and I have no idea what it is pollinating with (is that the right way to say that?) It is planted near Hawthorne Crab Apples, a Japanese Cherry and tulip magnolias. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!
Tree ID please, Plum Cherry of some kind
I took the liberty of pulling your picture off and lightened it up. Was your picture taken in the fall. The leaves appear to be bronze colored. The leaves look like a Cherry of some kind, but I don't know, the fruit looks awful big. You need to lighten up your picture, it's too dark for anyone to make an ID. Perhaps a picture of the bark would help also. I hope someone can help you.
Purple Plum - a purple-leaf cultivar of Prunus cerasifera. Several similar cultivars are sold.
The fruit is edible when ripe.

Resin,
Thanks so much. Do you have any further knowledge of this tree? I'd love to know why it is producing fruit.
Thanks,
Reece
