A small deciduous native tree, Prunus americana features clusters of white small flowers in the early spring that are followed by edible, round red plums. This species is usually grown for its ornamental value, not its fruit production, however, the plums can be eaten raw or into preserves and jellies. Toothed ovate green leaves turn an attractive yellow to red in the fall.
