Wild Plum - Identifying & Foraging American Plum (Prunus americana)

American Plum (Prunus americana) is a short tree with leaves similar to Birch with an ovate to elliptic shape, serrated, coming to a fine point. The purple-grey bark splits on mature trunks to reveal a lighter color. Flowers are fragrant appearing in early spring with the fruit developing in late summer into autumn. Always positively identify and get permission before harvesting any wild fruit.
