March 10th, Day 299: Malus transitoria

Fruit Info: Today we have the cut-lead crabapple. So named because of the appearance of its leaves. Shocker. The plant is grown primarily for ornamental purposes. It has apparently optioned the “Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit” which makes it this threads first award winning fruit I can think of!

Fruit Tier:! S look at all it’s accolades, it must be great!

I’m too short to reach that fruit. This fruit tree will be the end of me...

300 days already? Man what a ride. I can’t believe this thread has carried on so long, especially with me at the helm. Thanks for sticking with it so far guys and let’s see if we can make it to one year!

March 11th, Day 300: Skuberry

Fruit Info: The Skuberry marks our 300th fruit in this journey. The Skuberry is notorious for its scent that is oddly reminiscent of baked goods. Additionally the fruits are known to develop a thick shiny gloss on that top that reflects the sun. Why the crown of the fruit is so shiny and round remains a mystery to science. The Skuberry grows in tropical environments, usually near oceans or other large bodies of water. Finding a fruit on the vine is rare, however, as the fruits often fall into the water to be washed ashore in an attempt to populate more locations.

So this is why there are multiple Skuhoos on Loka.

Fruit Info: Malus yunnanensis, commonly called the yunnan crabapple, is today’s fruit. Basically all Wikipedia has to say about the fruit is “The tree bears single white flowers with a light pink tint, fruit color is red with white dots, moderate texture and roundish form.” So there you go.

Fruit Tier: E

March 13th, Day 302: Cut-Leaf Crabapple

March 14th, Day 303: Damson

Fruit Info: The damson plum is a odd looking plum variety often found in Britain. It is known for its distinctive and somewhat astringent taste. Unlike other plums the Damson has notably high sugar content. They have extensive culinary use with people making jams, preserves, canning them, making them into pies, butters and more. The damson has a large stone in the center that is difficult to separate from the rest of the fruit, but like most plums it also contains some toxins that you probably don’t want to consume.

March 15th, Day 304: American Plum

Fruit Info: Prunus americana is a species of plum that is, if you couldn’t tell from the name, native to North America. It comes from many regions, in fact it basically goes from Idaho to New Mexico. It is also known as the wild plum and, perhaps the most on the nose name with the “Large Yellow Sweet Plum”. The fruit is grown for largely ornamental usages, but many animals will snack on the fruit.

Fruit Tier: A

March 18th, Day 307: Mexican Plum

Fruit Info: Prunus mexicana is a type of plum that is native to the central United States and northern Mexico. While it is extremely similar to the Prunus americana, it is distinct enough to be considered its own species. The hybrids of both species are, however, so genetically similar to their parents that they aren’t even considered a distinct species.

March 19th, Day 308: Blackthorn

Fruit Info: The Prunus spinosa is a (shocker) species of plum. This time though we have one that is native to Europe and Western Asia. The fruit and the plant itself have a surprising amount of different uses. The plant’s large thorns are useful for making cattle-proof hedges, the plant is used as a rootstock, the fruit juice is used to make fake port wine, the fruit goes extremely well and jams and preserves, in medieval times the sap was used in the ink for some manuscripts, and the plants wood is excellent firewood.

March 20th, Day 309: Cherry Plum

Fruit Info: Originally native to Southeast Europe and Western Asia, the Prunus cerasifera has spread to many locations across the globe. It has been naturalized to the British Isles, some areas in North America, and to Southeast Australia where it has become a type of weed. The myrobalan plum is primarily cultivated for ornamental purposes but the fruit is still edible. In fact it is a rather diverse fruit as there are some varients that are sweet, others that are bitter, some different colors from the other, things like that.

Additionally, when the fruit is dried it is a popular winter stable of many indigenous groups.
