Hi Cheryl,

I grew up with a purple plum tree in my front yard. They are one of my favorite fruits. It’s great to learn that they are healthy as well.

  Oh yes, plums are very healthy. You know, in my earliest childhood home there was a plum tree in the front yard. I had forgotten all about that! Thanks for the reminder!

    This is too funny… We used to have a plum tree in our backyard and till this day I love plums. My favorite way to eat them is either fresh or in a pie.

I love plums, too! This is my favorite time of year because there is so much fresh fruit – like plums – available. Plums are especially nice because they are the perfect size for a quick snack!
