PLUM

 Description :      Some plum trees can reach 6-10 m in height, while others are much smaller. Some species are small shrubs with drooping branches. Buds Most varieties grow along short thorns or buds at the end of the main branch. Each bud can contain 1 to 5 or even 2 to 3 flowers, which often appear as dense clusters of flowers when the tree is in full bloom. Each flower consists of a cup-shaped hollow structure called a hipantium, with a vase, petals, and flagella around the outer edge of which are wound acorns. After fertilization, the Hypanchium and its appendages fall off, turning the ovary into small fruits. As the fruit grows, the outer part reaches the thick, juicy outer part, and the inner part becomes a rock or hole around the seed. Fruits vary in size, taste, color and texture. As the tree begins to grow, it requires less pruning and can grow well in the garden if pests and diseases are controlled.     Nutrition : One Cup Of Sliced Plum Con...
