Plums

Origin

The finding of seeds of ‘’Prunus Domestica’’ in the prehistoric palafittes of the Asia minor, makes us think that already in ancient times men have been feeding with prunes harvested in the wild vegetation. The common name plum seems to derive from ‘’susa’’ the name of an ancient Persian city. In Italy the plum tree was introduced during the I century b.C. during the wars between Romans, Persians and Greeks.
Today diffused all over the world the plum tree splits in two big categories: European and Chine-Japanese. The first category counts lots of varieties that are suited to the drying, while’re Chine-Japanese some of the cultivations of big interest for the fresh consumption.
The contemporary and endless variety innovation has allowed to know some variety of high sweetness gradation so very tasty to eat.
