IF you are able to bring in some plums and leaves or take a photo and send it through ask-an-expert on line, our Master Gardeners could identify them.
Plums are notorious for clinging to the pits. It's necessary to cut them off in chunks. You might also think about a steam juicer, or cooking them whole and then running through a jelly bag, for the juice. It would make great jelly or syrup.
