Is it a Damson?

Sloe also known as Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa).

Locally naturalised in the USA.

These are the size of a plump blueberry...are you thinking of plums?

These are in North Wales..

Yes Fractal...I have to agree...it sure looks like the sloe you are talking about...I found it in search....thank you for your help and you too..Grandmage

Aha! I was fooled by the USA flag (Washington State) in your profile. You didn't mention that you were over here :-)

yep.. here :o)

When you get back to the US and perhaps know where a sloe bush is, pick the sloes, wash them, prick them with a large needle, pop into a jar with same amount of sugar, top up with gin and you will have Sloe Gin for Christmas. Yummy! And VERY potent!

I also thought you were in USA, of course its a sloe, we always made sloe gin for christmas years ago!!!!!

lol...I have changed my flag so you will know where I am for now...! :o)

Thanks all! :o)

That is known in Wales Cat as a Whimberry my mum was born in Wales as a child she use to pick them every Sunday walking to Chapel they are very good for you.
