Once dropped, the seeds become sprouts and the sprouts turn into bushes and the bushes become large trees within a few years! Definitely sounds like wild plums, though, because you described them perfectly - shiny dark on the outside and gold on the inside. (Although we have the yellow ones in our yard.) Hi Patricia,

Dark red, and very shiny. I have lived here 10 years and never seem them before. The tree is very tall. I would like to know more about these plums, where are they from?
