Wild plum grows in prairies, woodlands, pastures, along the roadsides and along the banks of rivers in the United States. In general, wild plums are very easy to go from seed to planting, and they can be transplanted from seed rather easily.

Plant in well-drained soil, and wild plums tolerate shade well. Floral development takes place between April and May, and the fruit matures between August and September, respectively.

Moreover, should wild plums be ingested while they are still in the wild? Although wild plums can be eaten just as a raw snack, they are usually cooked because they are quite tart and even bitter when raw.
