BRANCH FROM ORIGINAL HERALD PRUNE TREE 
The fruits are scattered over the tree and hang free to dry naturally in the sunshine and wind. 
Note that the outermost fruit at the right is turgid and ripe while the two fruits to the left of it are 
beyond the plum stage and have begun to shrivel. (Fig. 15.)
