I concure that they look like plums. Prunes on the other hand do not
grow on trees. Prunes are the result of drying plums.

Some plums are called prunes even when not dried. Notice "capable of drying" in the
Merriam-Webster entry:

Main Entry: 1prune
Pronunciation: 'prün
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, plum, from Latin prunum -- more at
PLUM
: a plum dried or capable of drying without fermentation

pretty sure these are plums.
