Chickasaw plum (Prunus angustifolia) creates a diverse benefit to any habitat. This native tree produces abundant fruit, flower, and cover that is attractive to many walks of wildlife. Chickasaw plum attracts pollinator species by producing fragrant white flowers in early spring. These flowers add to the pollination health of local habitat, as well as create natural beauty for your enjoyment. This tree is one of the first fruit to appear in summer which attracts wildlife from the local habitat. Chickasaw suckers create thickets that wildlife use for bedding and cover.

Deer, turkey, songbirds, rabbits, and many other species thrive in the native environment created by Chickasaw plum.These trees are grown from seed. Cold hardy to USDA plant zone 5-9. New trees can produce fruit in 2-3 years depending on care and climate. The success of new trees is heavily dependent on the care received during and after planting.

Fertilization Do not fertilize at planting. Once the trees are established, fertilize in early spring (Mar-April) as growth begins. Do not fertilize in the fall, which could promote late season tender growth that can be damaged by early frosts.
Watering Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center.
Pollination Chickasaw Plums are considered self-pollinating, but the tree will bear more plentiful yields when planted within 50 ft of another plum.
