Narrative
Per Thomas (see citation): "Myrobolan. Small (one inch in diameter), round, remotely heart-shaped; bright red, bloom faint; stalk short and slender; cavity narrow; flesh juicy, slightly fibrous, soft, melting, sub-acid, not rich, adhereing to the oval, pointed stone. Ripens very early or about midsummer, its only value. Distinguished by its smooth, slender shoots, small bushy head, and narrow leaves. There are many varieties. This plum is considered to be a variety of the Prunus cerasifera. It has long been a favorite stock for other plums, and immense numbers have been imported into this country. As it dwarfs the scion, however, it is not so much used as formerly." Per Manual of Fruits, p. 62: "Myobalan-- Virginia Cherry. Young wood smooth; fruit medium, cordate, red, with the appearance of a Cherry, hence its name; flesh greenish, melting, very juicy, and pleasant. Beginning of August."
