Plum tree fruit ready to eat.

The plum tree has now fruited and the fruit are ripe and ready to eat. Blood plums are so rich in color and are so delicious. I have posted this tree when it was in bloom and the tree didn't disappoint, it is so full of fruit one of the branches was hanging so low it was ready to break. We had to help the branch with boxes under it just to hold up the branch.

My husband came home and commented on the beautiful shiny fruit and said "Where did you get them from, they look great". I replied, " these are your fruit from the plum tree outside" With a smile on his face, you could see he was quite proud of his plum tree. In a funny way our fruit trees have become part of the family. And at times he often comments " I hope you went and spoke to the trees and vegie patch today, My reply, "Yes dear."

It is funny how I wait so long to eat this beautiful and tasty fruit but this year is a bumper year and jam or sauces might have to be made. I'll see what I can turn this fruit into.I will as always, let you know. For now they turn up in everyone's breakfast and lunch meals. I'm sure I'll be sick of them by the time we finish eating them.

Fruit trees are great but sometimes it's too much of a good thing. I'm sure I'll be craving them again in June. Here are the pictures. Will keep you posted.
