Sort of, the prune tree is from the plum family, but specifically bred
to make the stone easier to remove.

That is pretty much what a friend of mine told me, after the fact. He
has an MBA but spent his whole working life working at the local
Sunsweet because he hated commuting 80 miles a day. Still, on only about
$13.00/Hr. he has managed to buy 3 houses and retire from the only job
he ever had. He told me a whole lot about fruit and processing that I
really didn't want to know. I will never look at a package of dried
fruit the same.
