Prunus angustifolia

Plant in well-drained, acidic to neutral soil in full sun; this tough southeastern native is exceptionally heat-tolerant and drought-resistant once established, making it one of the best fruiting shrubs for zone 8–9 Gulf Coast gardens where cold-requiring plums fail. The white flowers bloom very early — late January to February in the South — providing critical early pollinator forage, and the small red to yellow plums ripen in June and July. The tart fruit is excellent for jellies, preserves, and wine; birds, foxes, and raccoons compete vigorously for the harvest, so pick as soon as fruit softens. Prune to remove root suckers or allow to form a wildlife-beneficial thicket. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 60–120 дюймів Висота: 60–120 дюймів Дні до схожості: 90–120 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 4–13°C
