Mirabelle Plums

We noticed recently that a non-descript bush in our front yard was bearing bright yellow fruit. Thanks to my mate George who was the first to pop one in his mouth, we’ve started to enjoy their delicious, tarty sweet flavour. For a couple of weeks we had fun asking guests to identify them. At first they look like tiny apricots, but we were fairly sure from the texture of the flesh and the clinginess of stone that they were some kind of plum.

Today I plugged the quoted sentence “tiny yellow plum” into Google, and bingo.

PS - The article lists August to September as the harvesting months. Obviously that’s not the case Down Under, so I added the words “(Northern Hemisphere)” to the article. It’s a nice example of how, when it comes to Wikipedia, a small change from anybody can make a big difference.
