So there is a tree next to my house that has been growing fruit for the last couple of months, and now they are finally ripening. So what kind of tree is it? The fruit tastes good to me....but could my red foot, Artemis, eat them...?

Plums are edible for fruit eating species. Make sure that he does not eat the stone/pit, as it contains cyanide.

Mine eat and pass pits, I would remove them if you think they are a choking hazard. I couldn't keep up with de-pitting on the tree in my yard.

So if i de-pit them first they are a safe fruit to feed regularly? I'll probably slice them up first before she can have them.
