Stone Fruit
گٹھلی والے پَھل
A drupe develops from an outer fleshy part (exocarp or skin and mesocarp or flesh) surrounds a shell (the pit or stone) of hardened endocarp with a seed inside. These fruits develop from a single carpel, and mostly from flowers with superior ovaries. The definitive characteristic of a drupe is that the hard, lignified stone (or pit) is derived from the ovary wall of the flower. Other fleshy fruits may have a stony enclosure that comes from the seed coat surrounding the seed. These fruits are not drupes.

آلوبخارا ، پلم Plum |
The fruits are oval or round having smooth, thin skin. The flesh may be purple, blue, red, greenE or yellow, also depending on the variety. Plum fruit is sweet, juicy and edible, plums may be eaten fresh, preserved in jellies or jams, dried as prunes, juiced, or fermented as a liqueur. Plums come from three different backgrounds (The subgenus is divided into three sections) : American, European, and Japanese. Japanese plums (P. salicina) have sweet flesh that is somewhat tart near the pit. Japanese plums are usually clingstone, which means the flesh sticks to the pit. European plums (P. domestica) are hardier than Japanese plums. European varieties include the late-season prune plums, which are great for drying and eating fresh, and the Gage types, small, greenEish fruits valued for their light sweetness. European plums are ordinarily freestone, which means the flesh easily separates from the stone, making canning easy. American plums include the beach Plum (P. maritima), the Canada Plum (P. nigra), the American plum (P. americana), and the Sierra or Klamath plum (P. subcordata). The small plums of these trees vary in quality from one tree to another, but are delicious eaten fresh as well as in jellies, preserves, wines, and liqueurs. یہ خاندان Rosaceae کی نوع Prunus سے تعلق رکھتا ہے۔اس کی بہت سی اقسام ہیں، کچھ میٹھے ہیں تو کچھ تلخ کٹھے ۔اس کا چھلکا چکنا ہوتا ہے اور گُٹھلی دار پھل ہے۔ |
