Mexican plum – Prunus mexicana
This flowering tree is one of the first to bloom in the spring. You can see it’s white flowers in woods & thickets alongside the road as you speed by. It grows in a variety of soils & does well as an understory or full sun planting in a landscape situation. It produces edible fruit, but just make sure to plant yours away from sidewalks or patios – where the fruit might stain!
