On the Castle Green in Orford, Suffolk there used to be a tree that produced a small plum type fruit (or large cherry). I have always known this fruit as an ella bella but I cannot find any reference to it on the internet.
If my memory serves me correctly there was also the same tree in the Garden of the Scole Inn, Scole, Norfolk.
Can anyone tell me if they have heard of an ella bella before (spelling maybe incorrect) and if it is indeed a variety of cherry/plum?
