I usually go on Boxing Day, but they seem to be ripening earlier this year. Not quite ripe enough yet, but will try again in a week. Just been to collect some feral cherry plums.

The lead looks very much like an apple or plum leaf and the fruit grows in large clusters of perhaps 15 to 20 fruits. I have permission to pick them but obviously I need to know they are edible. I will try to attach a photo to help. Thanks in anticipation. :0) Hi can you help me identify this fruit, I thought it was a type if crabapple but when I cut it in half across the middle the core was divided into four, I thought that apples only divided into a five segment core.
