prunes
Wrinkled dark fruit
Prunes are dried plums, dark and wrinkled, often eaten for their laxative effect or used in baking and stews.
The verb prune means to trim away dead or overgrown branches from a tree or shrub to encourage healthy growth.
By extension, to prune is to reduce or cut back anything excessive: We need to prune the budget, She pruned the guest list.
