Hello to all olive and plum experts, can someone please help me with a
small problem that I am having?

Is an olive a type of plum?

The definition of plum is "any of numerous varieties of small to
medium-sized round or oval smooth-skinned fruit with a single pit"
this seems to account for olives as well.

can any one comment on this?

Thanks
Mathew

Botanists are more interested in the sexy bits!! its the flowers that tell
them a plum belongs to the Rosacea and the Olive to the Oleaceae so not
related at all.
