Plum - Fruit

	Plums have a plump, round shape with a depression at the top where the stem attached.
	Plum skin is very smooth and shiny, and can be red, purple, or yellow.
	Plums may be confused with nectarines or apples, but plums are usually smaller than both and lack orange coloring. Dried plums are called prunes.
