I found what I believe to be a plum tree seedling as the kernel was still attached. I replanted it into a pot with well rotted manure at the bottom. If it grows will it ever fruit? |

It may well fruit in at least 7 - 10 years. But be prepared for disapointment, the fruit may not be palatable. But, some of our best fruit trees have been discovered like that. Is there a tree nearby that it came from? Might it be wild Damson? It's a heavy seed to just appear. What sort of trees are around you?
