Wild Plum is a Fall forage fruit and one of the better-paying wild finds of the season. The plum counts as fruit, so a Keg makes wine from it and a Preserves Jar makes jelly. One Wild Plum is needed for the Fall Foraging Bundle, and a large stack is one option for the Forager's Bundle in the remixed set. Cooking two of them with Wheat Flour and Sugar makes Plum Pudding, a winter holiday dish. Choosing the fruit bats for the Farm Cave brings Wild Plums in every season.
The in-game description reads: Tart and juicy with a pungent aroma.
Location
Wild Plums grow wild in Fall. The Bus Stop, the Railroad, the Backwoods and the Mountain are the places to look.
The Farm Cave is the other steady place to find them. For the farm cave, Demetrius lets the farmer pick either mushrooms or fruit bats. With the fruit bats, Wild Plums are among the fruits that appear on the cave floor, and they show up in every season.
Fall Seeds can grow them on the farm. Each seed grows into a Wild Plum, a Blackberry, a Common Mushroom or a Hazelnut, picked at random.
Wild Plums can also turn up in the Garbage Cans around Pelican Town during Fall.
Prices
Raw, a Wild Plum sells for a fair amount for a forage item. The price climbs with quality, and every Wild Plum is iridium for a farmer with the Botanist profession.
Wine is the best way to sell it. A Keg makes Wild Plum Wine, which is worth three times the raw plum. The Artisan profession adds another forty percent on top. A Preserves Jar makes Wild Plum Jelly instead, which suits a farm with more jars than kegs.
Uses
The Fall Foraging Bundle in the Crafts Room asks for a Common Mushroom, a Wild Plum, a Hazelnut and a Blackberry. Finishing it gives 30 Fall Seeds. The remixed version keeps the same four items.
The remixed Forager's Bundle on the Bulletin Board sometimes appears in place of another bundle. It asks for two big stacks chosen from Blackberries, Salmonberries and Wild Plums. The fruit bat cave makes the Wild Plum stack much easier to fill.
Reaching Foraging Level 6 unlocks the Wild Seeds (Fa) recipe. Crafting a Wild Plum with a Blackberry, a Common Mushroom and a Hazelnut makes ten Fall Seeds.
Cooking two Wild Plums with Wheat Flour and Sugar makes Plum Pudding. The Queen of Sauce teaches the recipe on television in Winter. The pudding restores a good amount of energy, so it works well as food for a long day.
At the Sewing Machine, a Wild Plum with Cloth makes the dyeable Farmer Pants. The purple pot among the dye pots at Emily and Haley's house takes a Wild Plum.
The Help Wanted board outside Pierre's General Store sometimes asks for a Wild Plum in Fall. Handing over the plum pays three times its price and raises friendship with the asker by 150 points.
