The Chickasaw Plum tree (Prunus angustifolia) is a deciduous small tree (can be grown as a multi-stemmed shrub) that adapts to almost any landscape. Most often seen in the wild as a shrub. Boasts flowered clusters of 5-petaled white flowers in March before the foliage emerges. Flowers are followed by small, cherry-like, edible, red to yellow plums (to 1/2" diameter) which ripen in early to mid summer. Although the plums may be eaten raw, they are somewhat tart and acidic, best used in preserves and jellies. Attracts local butterflies, birds and deer can't resist these specimens. Effective along stream banks for erosion control. Also may be used in shrub borders, edible hedge for wildlife.
Plant in full sun to partial shade, in average, medium, well-drained soils.
