Plums
are divided into 3 groups-European, Japanese and native North American-based
on their geographic origins.
Plums are remarkably diverse. Color include green, yellow, red, blue
and purple. Depending on the variety, plums range in shape from oblong
to round and flavors vary from sweet to slightly tart. All prunes are
plums, but not all plums are prunes.
