Buy Chickasaw Plum Trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Chickasaw Plum, botanically known as Prunus angustifolia, is a native Southern plum known for its early white spring flowers, small edible fruit, pollinator value, wildlife benefits, and tough natural beauty. Chickasaw Plum is a great choice for customers who want a native fruit tree that works well in natural areas, wildlife plantings, pollinator gardens, food plots, edible landscapes, and Southern yards. In early spring, the tree is covered with small white flowers before or as the leaves appear, giving the landscape a pretty seasonal display and helping support bees and other pollinators. The fruit is smaller than commercial plums, but it is edible and useful. Chickasaw plums are often tart to sweet-tart and can be eaten fresh when fully ripe, but they are especially popular for jelly, jam, preserves, and old-fashioned Southern recipes. Birds, squirrels, deer, and other wildlife also enjoy the fruit, making this tree useful for customers who want to support wildlife on their property. This native plum can grow as a small tree, large shrub, or thicket-forming plant. It may sucker and spread naturally, which can be helpful for wildlife edges, privacy screens, hedgerows, and naturalized areas. If customers want a neater single-tree form, suckers can be managed with pruning or mowing.
