We tend to take things for granted when we lived in the Caribbean. Then you realize how much you missed being there when you start spending a lot of money for the fruits and vegetables. It's so nice seeing that people are looking after their lands and planting healthy food. Great video! I wish I was there to partake in some of those fresh fruits.
I wonder what those fruits that you called a plum really are. As someone who has 41 plum trees - both european and asian- in 37 different varieties, I can say with great confidence those are not what most of us call plums. But the word plum may have a different meaning there, or perhaps there really is some kind of Caribbean Plum that you are showing us. So I promise I'm not just trying to say you are wrong....only that I'm curious what those are since they are not like any plum I've ever known (that applies to both the fruit and the trees...the leaves aren't even similar to plums as I know them. Thanks for great video. That place is my dream!
@@dawillsworks Thank you SO MUCH for that great and informative reply. I sincerely hope I didn't come off as one of the internet know-it-alls who go around correcting people!!!! I was more curious than anything and you have now given me a very helpful answer and education. As you may know, what most of the world calls a plum is of the "prunus domestica" family so they are very different species from this hog-plum, but there is nothing wrong with you calling this a plum and i must confess that I watched another video 5 minutes after yours of someone else visiting St. Vince who held up the same fruit and also called it a plum! So clearly that is the common name for it down there. Anyway, thanks again for the great video and tour. As someone who has a total of 152 fruit trees and 31 fruit bushes and brambles, I'm a confessed fruit nut and loved seeing your tour. I'm also jealous of all the tropical things that can be grown in the islands that I cannot grow here in TN-USA. Thanks again. Be well.
We have the chilli plums.. yellow. Seen in the video, then the hog plums... also yellow and a bit bigger with a different flavor... we also have the bequia plum which are red.

Hi, this is indeed a plum tree known as the hog plum. Here's the Wikipedia on it en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondias_mombin

Glad to have introduced you to something new! Hopefully you'll get to visit our lovely islands at some point. Be well.
