It is a beautiful sight to see the plum trees with thorns in bloom. As with all wild plum trees, find out which species is the tree for your garden or if you want the plums from the wild, but be prepared for their prickles as most have thorny branches-including the American wild plum (Prunus americana).

You’ll have to contend with prickles if you want to grow a plum tree in a native plant garden. Wild plum trees in particular have thorny branches and this is likely to be the American wild plum (Prunus americana).

What is the safety level of wild plums to eat? The fact that wild plums tend to be quite tart and occasionally bitter makes it necessary to cook them rather than eat them raw as a snack.

There is fruit growing on the tree this year, but as the tree is already thin, the fatter two other portions of the trunk are just leaves and what appears to be wild thorns/spikes.

The wild plum tree can be found in many different places.

This species of wild plum can be found growing naturally in prairies, woodlands, pastures, as well as along roadsides and riverbanks.

A natural plum tree can be planted from seed, and they make a fairly simple transition from one place to another. It is recommended to plant them in well-drained soil; wild plums can tolerate shade.

Fruit usually ripens between August and September but in the meantime flowers appear between April and May.
