Fruits and Nuts: wild plum ?'s, 0 by Farmerdill

Wild plums (Prunus americana) are very common in this neck of the woods. If you really want one, you will probably find a hundred root suckers coming up in the vicinity of the bearing plant. Wait until leaf fall, then dig one up and plant it where you want it. Be warned however, that as Bettydee stated, these things send up multiple plants from the root system and will take over any open space. They are as difficult to control as the Cherry Laurel.
