This tree behaves with its fruit like a gage/plum IE It grows its fruit inside the bush (hiding from birds ,the blossom is cream/white and appears march/april but later this year the fruit are light green but turn full purple when ripe but are apple shaped not egg shape fruit are sweeter than plums ,fruit very poor this year will upload pics when availableSeason records for this tree

I have registered this tree has old green gage but in truth i don't know if it is a sort of plum/gage /damson/bulace my best guess is gage ,is also an old tree been cut down to stump but has grown back and started producing fruit 2 years ago when i planted an apple tree as a pollinator unintentionally, need help identifying
