plant sale text: American plum is a small, deciduous tree, often forming thickets in the wild from root sprouts. It blooms in early spring before the leaves develop with clusters of small, white flowers. In mid-summer, the green fruits ripen to red; they are quite tasty and can be eaten plain or made into jam. The fruits are smaller than cultivated plums, and a more "wild" tasting fruit. American plum has a wide distribution and can tolerate a variety of soil conditions. The genus Prunus supports up to 429 lepidoptera species.
