Prunus americana
A native, wild plum tree! Flowers emerge before the leaves, and fruits mature into a red color in the autumn. Often planted for ornamental or wildlife benefit, these plums are edible but not as popular for eating as cultivars bred for fruit production. Fruits may be more readily enjoyed in preserves or jellies. Tolerates dry, droughty soils and prefers full sun.
Sold as bareroot seedlings 12-18" tall.
