    This has grown from my neighbours to our garden .

    Can anyone identify for me please?

    This the first year they have turned red always green and have a stone in the middle.

    Could it be a plumb?

    Send a photo of the leaf as well as the fruit, it does look like a cherry though!

    Hi Tony it was too windy to capture photo of leaf yesterday.
    Today it is a beautiful sunny day not cloud in the sky.

    Hi Scotkat, Lucky you, it's been cold and miserable here with intermittent rain. From the photo I would say that you have a Cherry Tree. I belive that Cherries have a round stone and plums an oval flatish stone similar to and almond. Try cutting one in half and have a look! Cherry trees do send out a lot of suckers that will grow into another tree but it does weeken the host, perhaps you ought to have a word with your neighbour!
    Best wishes
    Tony

    I think that's a white cherry. Found a tree of them on my friend's allotment. They taste amazing.
