Silly question...but. I had a bag of cherries today and the really ripe ones have the same taste as a plum. Then I was thinking the trees look the same, the fruit looks the same just different size, they both have a pit...etc...

I have no idea about their relation genetically, they DO look similar, but they sure don't taste the same...

Edit: Google told me. They both belong to the genus "prunus"

They are young prunes......

Omg... Imagine making cherries as large as plums!!!!!

I think i'd pass out due to excitement.

Plums and cherries are closely related. In fact there is such a thing as a cherry plum.

Weird.....I hate plums...........but LOVE cherries.

I would rather have a peach

I just read that a water melon is a berry.

When young, I thought all plumbs were blue because the tree in our yard looked like this one:

Man having blue plums is the worst.

I got mine shortly after my vasectomy and then lifted "a heavy object." I was like Burt Reynolds swimming for shore at the end of the movie where he swam out into the ocean trying to kill himself.
