Mexican Plum (Prunus mexicana)

Mexican plum is a small, native tree growing 10-25 feet tall. It is similar in many ways to the more well known American plum, but tends to grow as a single stem without the suckering habit. If you don’t have the space for a thicket forming American plum, Mexican plum could be a great option. The beautiful spring blossoms are white and fragrant. The fruits are small, but delicious and excellent for preserves in addition to fresh eating. A fantastic, low maintenance plant for food forests or native gardens. Mexican plums are self fertile, but having a second seedling nearby will produce a larger fruit set. They are tolerant of many soils and drought resistant once established. Bare root seedlings 12”+ tall. Hardy to zone 6.
