Fantastic plum scrumping on Grand Union Canal

Aug 4th, 2009 by Chris Duggan | No comments yet

Info received 3 August, so you’d better be quick!

For those who like fruit and freganism, there are several, very abundantly loaded plum/bullace trees on the Grand Union canal towpath between Tyseley Incinerator (Waste of Energy plant) and Kings Road. They don’t appear to be being harvested by local people as there is a carpet of them on the ground under each tree – bright yellow and bright red ones.

I haven’t got time to go back and raid them myself. Someone with a stepladder or good climbing skills could get loads of them.
