Prunus umbellata can reach 20 ft (6.1 m) in height with a 15 ft (4.6 m) spread. It has alternate serrate green leaves that turn yellow in autumn. Flowers are white, creamy, or grayish. Fruits are round, purple, and 0.5–1 in (1.3–2.5 cm) in diameter.[4] P. umbellata trees can live up to 40 years and are very difficult to distinguish from Prunus angustifolia, with which it hybridizes easily.[5] The trees bloom and bear fruit later than other plums. The fruits mature August–October. Large crops appear only every 3-4 years.[6] The fruits are made into jellies and jams.[7]

gollark: It doesn't seem to be.
gollark: There seems to be an `internet_ready` signal, I'll check if that's relevant to HTTP.
gollark: I have some code doing this```lualocal function fetch(url, data) local res, err = net.request(url, json.encode(data), { ["Content-Type"] = "application/json" }) if not res then error(url .. " error: " .. err) end local out = {} while true do local chunk, err = res.read() if err then error(url .. " error: " .. err) end if chunk then table.insert(out, chunk) else return table.concat(out) end endend```but it never appears to `computer.pullSignal` at all, so my accursed bare-metal multithreading thing™ doesn't work.
gollark: Is there a way to do `internet.request` (with an internet card) and anything else whatsoever concurrently?
gollark: OC2 should have hard disk firmware so people can write rootkits for it.
