>>uhm, I will assume you mispoke, since you don't pick prunes. you pick a plum that gets dried and then becomes a prune.<<

I did not mispeak-lol!!!!

When one picks prunes they are a specific type of small plum, and when you get on the bus to go pick the prunes it is referred to as picking prunes, by the people hiring and everyone picking.

I picked a lot of prunes. And we do not pick them off the tree, we pick them off the ground. They shake the tree. Large boxes for .22. I did not do it long. Prunes are a small plumb too.

We also refer to the "prune orchards". Not plum orchards. Those are something different-lol.
