Description
Wild Plum (Prunus americana) is a small deciduous tree native to North America. Its beautiful white blossoms in the spring are followed by purple and reddish-blue fruit in the latter part of the summer. It grows in a wide range of soils and climates and typically reaches heights of 8-12 feet. The wood of the tree is hard but brittle, making it difficult to work with. It is also a great source of food for birds and other small animals, making it an important member of the natural ecosystem. If you're looking for a beautiful, low-maintenance tree for your property, wild plum is a great choice.
