Plums are usually divided into two categories
Japanese plums are usually round
European plums that are usually stretched.
They are also sold as fresh and dried plums.
Japanese plum
It includes red plums, black plums and yellow plums at the time of harvest in Iran from the beginning of summer to the beginning of autumn.
Black Japanese plum is very sweet.
European plums
The elongated shape has a sweet taste and dries well, which is also called sugar plum.
Green plums and gold drop plums also have a sweet taste.
Most plums in Iran are Japanese plums, but there are both, but round plums are mostly produced.
You may find that other European plums are sold as Italian plums, French plums and “fresh plums” because they are used to make dried fruit. This type of plum is often known as “sugar plum”.
Types of plums

they are bright red to dark purple in color and yellow in color. These plums are sweet. I like to use these plums, because when they ripen, they have more texture than other types of plums. When you cook black plums, the whole dish turns purple.

Red plums
Red plums are named because they have bright red skin. Some of them, such as Santa Rosa, have amber fruit and others have red fruits and bright red meat. The skin has a balance in its taste. This plum is very soft when handled. Therefore, it is not suitable for export . it can be used to make jams.
What is similar in all plums?
The plum tree is very fertile. Each branch is full of fruit and the fruits produce a lot of juice. Plum farmers harvest only once or twice a year.
