I have a flowering plum tree with fruits on it, are they edible?

I have a flowering plum tree with purple leaves at my backyard.


There are alot of fruits on it this year, the size of the fruits is smaller than the normal plum. I tried one and it's tasty, are they edible?

Plum trees are divided into fruiting varieties and ornamental or flowering varieties. Every kind sold locally as an ornamental or flowering plum has purplish leaves, so the term purpleleaf plum is also used synonymously to signify decorative varieties. Several purpleleaf plums, however, not only bear attractive white or pink flowers, but also produce fruit so heavily that they've earned reputations as "edible ornamental plants." Examples of such purpleleaf edible-fruited plums include 'Allred', 'Hollywood', 'Trailblazer' and 'Spencer Hollywood'. All four varieties can produce plums for eating on a par with Japanese or European fruiting plums. Other purpleleaf plums such as 'Pissardii' and 'Thundercloud' also make plums, but not as many, or of inferior quality.
Reply:Yes they are edible. They are just smaller than most plums.
