prunus americana, wild plum

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

prunus americana, wild plum. I’ve been growing a couple of selections that are graft compatible with prunus virginiana. it takes some years to grow out more scion wood but the process has exponential returns. I have so many prunus cultivars and species that I want to grow, so turning the forest of established chokecherry into a canvas with interstems is such a rewarding project. of note, the other wild plum prunus nigra doesn’t seem compatible at all with chokecherry directly, but it might be with an interstem.
