Hey everyone, it's Bailey with TN Nursery, and today I'm showing you some of our Chickasaw plums. Now these are a very, very important plant. Native Americans was growing it way before we came along here because it produces sweet native plums that's been enjoyed for hundreds of years. It blooms before any other fruit trees wake up, and it provides food and shelter for native wildlife. People love it when they're reforesting the place because it's an amazing reforestation tree, and the fruit makes the tree just absolutely beautiful when it starts producing it. People love to plant this tree for its spring flowers and summer fruits. It's a very attractive tree. Shop now at TNNursery.net while we have these available.
