and plums, along with nectarines and peaches, olives and mangoes are all
part of the same family : Prunus, so you could say that they are indeed
related...see this page for more details:

Ahem!!!
1) Prunus is not a family. It is a genus within the rose family Rosaceae
2) Olives are in a different family altogether - Oleaceae
3) and mangoes are in yet a third family
So you could say they were all related .... but about as closely as they
are to cacti, dandelions and carrots ;-)
Although I'm not an expert in anything :-p
I couldn't possibly comment ;-)
