Plums actually grow on every single tree. What, you didn't know that? They do. Orange trees, apple trees, cantaloupe trees. Plums are simply mutant fruits that have been installed in the root software of every single tree. I hear that some plum-loving scientists are working on a way to hack every tree's genetic code so that every tree will bear nothing _but_ plums.
