@erikcats I believe you about the yield. One of my childhood friends had a plum tree and we would run from the opposite side of the garden, yell 'vrot* plums!!!' and then attempt to barefoot ski through the slimy, rotting plums under the tree without faceplanting into them.
Horrified admiration is how I view my childhood self.
*rotten, it's an Afrikaans word that is firmly part of South African English.
