It depends on how you are using the word. For example:
I am reading Pea-Prune.
I am a Pruner.
I am going to a Pea-Prune fly-in.
Generally, Prune is the more familiar version.

What's wrong with you, boy? You need taking out and giving a good seeing to! BRL, bring the high voltage battery and the table lamp with the halogen bulb.

I say "puh-prune", but the real answer is "Cholmondely".
Tomorrow, if I have time, I shall post for your delectation the famous "Ballad of P O Prune", which isn't on the net as far as I know, so will have to be typed in.

Overheard en-route to the Isle of Wight a few weekends ago:
G-abcd: Gabcd Final
Sandown Radio: Roger, runway is clear, errr, are you a prune?
G-abcd: Affirm. 2 prunes on board
Sandown Radio: After landing vacate left and park with the other prunes near the windsock.
This was repeated several times so by the time I called for joining information I insert "1 prune on board" into my initial call.

It is so sad 
that I can even be bothered to get even slightly worked up about this for a fleeting moment; but I am.
How can it be prune, pruner, pruning, and so forth, when there are two Ps?
It has to be Pee-Prune, remember there's the word professional in there, too.
