Hi, I have just read the "Help! Damson? Bullace?..etc thread and didn't want to hijack it, but I've got a similar problem.

I was out foraging today around the footpaths and parks, and I came accross a small yellow fruit, oval, about an inch long. I've read that Bullaces can be other than 'plum' coloured. Inside is fleshy like a plum and has a stone, similar to a plum or Damson. They're very sweet. I managed to gather about 1kg just in windfall, and I've noticed 2 or three other trees, so it would be a good source of fruit. The only thing I've found on the net that looks similar is a Mirabelle Plum (on Wikipedia), but there's no mention of them growing in the UK.

I'll try and post some pictures if the technology behaves itself, but has anyone out there found yellow Bullaces, or Mirabelle plums before?
