Can ya"ll tell me what kind of tree this is? I have always noticed it, but this is the first year that I have noticed "fruit" on it. Its growing wild out on one of my fence lines. If it is what I think it is, then how lucky am I. All of the hard work it has taking me to grow my own fruit.

Are they any good fruitnut? The guy there at the bottom of the photo is just begging to be sampled.

I never heard of it but a quick search shows leaves that look exactly like that.

I have a friend with 2 Mexican plums and they look just like yours.
He says the fruit can be very sweet and the flowers are very fragrant.

Nice!
P. mexicana is present here - but on my farm they're almost always scattered isolated trees under the mature hardwood canopy, and fruit extremely sparingly, if at all.
