Did you know?
- The garden plum is a natural hybrid of the cherry plum and the blackthorn, with extra sets of chromosomes.
- Prunes are plums dried whole, and only some firm, sweet varieties are suited to drying with the stone in.
Could you guess it from clues?
WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
