American Plum (Multi-stem)(Prunus americana) – W
$160.00
American plum is a large suckering shrub found in dry to medium soils in full to partial sun. Spring flowers are fragrant and attract pollinators. Summer fruit is edible and favored by select birds and wildlife.
American Plum is considered a keystone species throughout its native range. This single foundational shrub provides food and shelter for a disproportionately large amount of food webs. Be prepared to see many native insects collecting pollen and sipping nectar, but also munching on the leaves and fruit. Like members of the Rose Family, there are several diseases that are common and can impact aesthetics.
