Sorry guys, new to this and not very computer literate into the bargain. Try this.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Hmm, they do look like some sort of wild plum to me, clearly not ripe yet. Someone else here might have a better idea. Have you not lived there long? Are there any neighbours you could ask? Failing that, you could keep a lookout for when the fruits ripen and see if anybody comes to pick them.....I guess they'd know!
learning to love veg…..except celery :-O
Like Sue said they do look as if they're not ready - are they soft?
I have just had a look at our greengages and yes, the leaves and the fruits (same size) are the same as your photo.
Good dessert fruit and also good for jamming. Lucky you!
Really appreciate the responses to date. The fruit has a stone in the centre like plums. My main concern was to determine they were definitely edible before I made use of them.
Thought they might have been some sort of bullace or damson. I wasnt sure they were the right size for Greengages but Val has answered that for me.
Just left for me to harvest when ripe & enjoy!
This is a handy reference
