Rayman 2: Further Plum Experiments

Well, yesterday I put up a video (https://youtu.be/ZMsUcSc1md8) demonstrating a phenomenon I knew well relating to plums in the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire. Today I decided to kick the tyres on the conclusion I drew. Is it really the case that each plum-tree is tied to a certain post or certain posts?
It turns out that that hypothesis is completely incorrect. In actual fact each plum-tree is tied to a certain *behaviour* with respect to posts. The first plum in the secret area is programmed to attach to a post and stay there as long as it exists. The second plum is programmed to attach, then quiver and fall off. No other plum in the game is programmed to do anything in relation to posts.
The other experiment I did was getting rid of the plum spawned after defeating the mini-Jano. After seeing the invisible wall during the first experiment, I assumed the same thing would happen here. But it didn't! It turns out that the tree in the mini-Jano's cave is a plum-tree, albeit a fairly bare-boned one.
When you think about it, it looks like the mini-Jano itself was a fruit of that tree, that got corrupted in some way. Plums and mini-Janos are quite similar. They're roughly the same size, and they're both bouncing little round yokes…
