Prunus angustifolia (Chickasaw Plum)

Prunus angustifolia, also known as Chickasaw Plum, is a deciduous shrub or small tree that typically grows to a height of 10-20 feet. It is native to the Southeastern United States and is known for its colonizing nature. The tree produces an abundance of fragrant white flowers in early spring, followed by small edible plums that ripen in the summer. The plums are a favorite food source for birds and wildlife.
