American Plum (Prunus americana)
A keystone species. The native American plum is an amazing small tree for wildlife. the white flowers in early April are a pollinator magnet. the pollinated flowers will turn into small edible plums that wildlife and humans enjoy. A truly beneficial tree. The fruit ripen in mid to late summer. A tad later than chickasaw plums.
Host plant for several lepidoptera species including the eastern Tiger swallowtail and the red spotted purple butterflies. What’s not to love about this native fruit producing tree.
Height 10-20 feet tall. Prefers full sun to part shade. May sucker over time (send up multiple trunks). A native substitute for crepe myrtles and bradford pears.
American Plum trees are in a wide range of recycled pots each tree is roughly 3 feet tall.
