Prunus americana
AMERICAN PLUM, SWEET WILD PLUM
- Unit price
- / per
Prunus americana, commonly called the American plum, wild plum, or Marshall's large yellow sweet plum, is a species of Prunus native to North America from Saskatchewan and Idaho south to New Mexico and east to Qu??bec, Maine and Florida.
Prunus americana has often been planted outside its native range.
The American plum grows as a large shrub or small tree, reaching up to 4.6 metres (15 feet. The shrub survives harsh winters, down to temperatures of -40 degrees F.
The American plum is used for both ornamental and culinary purposes. The white flowers are decorative in spring and its short, single leader makes it a popular residential landscape tree. Wild Plum fruit begins to ripen in late August, producing plums ranging in colour from yellow to red, but generally maturing to red.
The seeds are in very limited supply.
Type: Hardy tree
Location: Sun or part sun
Hardiness zones: 2-8
Seeds per packet: 3
Note: The seeds and leaves of prunus contain poisons. Do not eat them.
Germination: Soak the seeds for 12-24 hours before planting. Sow the seeds just under the surface and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 60-90 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature (20-22 C, 68-72 F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer. Do not discard the planting tray, as patience is needed, and they are well worth the wait.

Here's What Some Of Our Customers Had To Say (Thank you!)
Ferri Seeds is truly a wonderful company. They take the utmost care when delivering your seeds. Mine arrived promptly and when I had any questions, they were so happy to help me. I am looking forward to getting more from them soon. Thank you David for making this a delightful experience.
I got these pretty quickly and in perfect order. I can't wait to see what they look like once I plant them. I have another colour and they were so pretty I had to try these. I have used this seller a few times now with great success, and will again. Everything I have ordered has been of good quality!
I was impressed with Ferriseed’s selection of seeds. Ordering was a breeze and the seeds arrived in a perfect little padded envelope in 9 days. I am very happy and will order from here again. Many thanks.
Never grew coleus from seed, and it was surprisingly easy. They germinated quickly on my heat mat and grow lights. Can't wait to see them in the garden!
We placed our order on Thursday and received it on Monday. Here in Canada the tracking link is accurate. Ferri seeds tells you when they're shipping and when your order is delivered, the seeds arriving in excellent condition. We will definitely be ordering again this spring. Keep up the good work!
Great product ! All seeds germinated and flourished nicely.
My order, made late afternoon, April 27th, and needed in a bit of a rush, was mailed next morning and arrived in my rural mailbox in BC, May 5th.
Thank you for your cheerful, friendly emails and prompt service. I certainly recommend you others and will be sure to keep an eye on the range of seeds you offer in future.

Ferri Seeds – one of the best online and most helpful businesses I have ever had dealings with. Quick turnaround, dispatch, and beautifully packaged seeds. What more could you want – beautiful flowers would be nice. Well I am sure they will turn out to be.
The seeds came just as described. I appreciate the good follow-up to my questions also.
Fantastically seedlings. They were well packaged. I planted them right away and they’re growing nicely so far.
Fast service, amazing communication!
I happened across Ferri Seeds website when I Googled a particular plant I’d been looking for. I was impressed by their selection of all types of seeds and their good product descriptions along with detailed germination instructions. I found the site and ordered on a Saturday. On Sunday I got a notice that my order had been shipped! The seeds were in my P.O. box on Friday. Such amazing service. It’s too early to comment on germination rates — I’ve just started the stratification process today.
