Methley Plum - Fruit

I got home today and thought to check my plum tree since I had to chase away some deer this morning. Sure enough they had raided it last night and stripped some 20 or 30 plums from the lower limbs.
I also noticed that there was all of a sudden some very edible fruit as you see below.
The wife and I spent the next hour throwing some deer netting that we just got this week over the tree to prevent the deer and birds from eating the rest.
The picture of the Methley in bloom is here.

This is the first time in three years that we were able to get some fruit from the tree before it was fully stripped by the vermin.

These went pretty fast and while they were not very big they were very very good.
Yum!
