Narrative

Per The American Fruit Culturist by Thomas (see citation): "Simon or Prunus Simoni. Tree a very strict, upright grower, often unproductive in the East; fruit large, flattened, apple-shape; skin deep red, sprinkled with small yellow dots; stem short, the fruit sticking closely to the branches; flesh yellow, cling, poor. Early. In the interior regions of California it is said to be of good quality and is largely grown for market. Prunus Simoni is distinct from the Japanese plums, prunus triflora, and is generally considered to be a good species." Per Ali Almehdi: "Narrow topped tree. Leaves rather thick,very veiny. Flower white, 3/4 inch diameter. Fruit 5-7 cm diameter, fair."
