5 Live Plants Chickasaw Plum Tree 12 Inch Tall Prunus angustifolia Bare Root

Chickasaw Plum (Prunus angustifolia) is a small, spreading North American native tree known for its early spring display of fragrant white blossoms and its small, tart, reddish plums that ripen in mid to late summer. It offers multi-season interest with ornamental flowers, edible fruit, and attractive glossy green foliage that turns yellow in autumn. These 12-inch tall bare root plants are ready to establish in a sunny, well-drained location.

Chickasaw Plum works well as a specimen tree, in edible landscapes, hedgerows, or wildlife plantings, where its spring blooms and summer fruit add beauty and function. The plums can be eaten fresh when fully ripe or used in jams, jellies, and preserves. Over time it forms thickets via suckering, making it useful for naturalized areas and privacy screens.
