Identifying wild Bullace bushes

[richardcane]

I live in the country and have a thick wild hedge (Hawthorn, Beech etc). One bush in this hedhe has just produced yellow fruits the size of damsons. There are not many fruit (about a dozen). I think they are a Bullace variety but am wary about eating them in case they are not Bullace and not edible.
They have a small stone in them and look just like a Damson or plum.
Any ideas on correctly identifying these fruits?
Thanks
Richard

How do they compare to this?

Or this? Do they taste nice?

I don't think there are any inedible, in the sense of dangerous, members of the plum family just some rootstocks that are not very nice, like sloes aren't much good apart from for soaking in gin. The wild yellowy green bullaces that I have several trees of make an excellent jam not unlike greengage.

Suspect they are identical Geoff - sadly my family don't like jam. In desperation, bottled this lot as a holding manoevre

Many thanks for the advice given.
It looks safe to eat them.

Sloes are excellent for convincing very little children not to eat berries without checking with mum/dad first.
