Sugarplum?
I came here looking for the definition of "sugarplum" as in "While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads". Yet "sugarplum" is only mentioned as an alternate name for the plant. I always assumed "sugarplums" were candied plums. This makes it sound like they are something else. What? —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 17:20, 30 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I found the candy, sugar plum, and added a disambiguation link. Still, some clarification would be useful. Why are these called sugarplums? —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 17:24, 30 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Folk etymology is often convoluted. The fruit is plum in color and very sweet, probably sweet enough to crystalize when dried.

Plums in General
Serviceberries are only distantly related to plums, but the passage wherein it is remarked that it is the 'only plum with a non-bitter skin' suggests that the plant is a plum, when it is not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.149.165 (talk) 05:25, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Photos removed
Photos of this plant were recently removed from the page by someone who didn't sign in, and who said they were not the right species. I checked with a likely taxonomist who specializes in this genus and he admitted that it was him, forgetting to sign in. More anon, no doubt. Nadiatalent (talk) 13:57, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
