Last year was the first year they fruited and they ripened so late
(early Oct) that I am wondering if the tree was mislabeled. I actually
posted about it here: Any experience with Purple Gage plum?
They tasted ok but they still weren’t quite ripe. I’ve heard that very young trees can produce inconsistent fruit. I’m hoping that is what happened. This year the tree has a small handful of plums that have been purple for a bout two weeks already, but they are still hard. Hopefully I have some good news in a few weeks.
