The Chickasaw Plums

Fig. 41

Today, I was able to go out to out little orchard in the front yard & pick our plums. Most people grow conventional plums but we chose to grow native plums. These Chickasaw Plums look more like Cherries when they are growing on the tree. They are smaller than regular plums and a beautiful deep red colour. They taste like plums but their skins are a bit thicker than regular plums.

Origin
Chickasaw plum (Prunus angustifolia), also called sand plum, occurs in at least 27 states, ranging from Nebraska to New Jersey on the north and from New Mexico to Florida on the south. California also has sand plum, though it distribution is broken by Arizona and Nevada. ¹⁴
In the 1800’s there was great interest in making cultivars out of native plums and by 1901 there were over 300 of them. But mechanization of fruit production in the early 1900’s led growers away from the native varieties though there has been some interest of late to use the native plums again as a high-value specialty crop. ¹¹

Native Habitats
Woodland edges, fencerows, open woods. Also cultivated. ¹⁰

Description
The Chickasaw plum is a native fruit that was enjoyed by indigenous populations prior to the arrival of the Spaniards. ⁴
Growing 20 feet tall and wide, Chickasaw plum forms a rounded mass of slender, thorny branches sprouting from a short trunk. In spring, before the one and a half to three-inch-long leaves appear, Chickasaw plum is festooned with small, white, fragrant flowers which make the trees quite decorative. ¹
It requires some chilling so won’t grow in South Florida and similar climates. ¹¹

Leaves/stems
The leaves of Chickasaw plum have teeth that are tipped with little red or yellow glands. (You need a hand lens to see these.) Leaves of flatwoods plum and American plum lack the glands. ⁸
The skinny leave has a trough down the middle. ¹¹
Twigs are slender, zig-zag in appearance, and reddish brown with raised leaf scars, thorny branches, and small red buds. ¹³
Individual stems are called ramets and the collection of genetically similar individual stems (clones) that form a thicket is called a genet. ¹³

Flowers
Each spring, from February to April, Chickasaw plum trees are covered with clusters of tiny, fragrant, white flowers. The flowers bloom on the previous year’s wood and are especially dramatic since they appear before the trees puts out new leaves. ⁷
Chickasaw plums produce abundant, flowers. The small, white, 5-petaled flowers are a 1/3 in (0.8 cm) across and have orange anthers. They occur in clusters on side twigs and tips of branches. ¹³

Pollination
The species is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and is pollinated by insects. ¹²

Fruit
The fruit is a round, 1/3 – 1/2 in (0.83 - 1.3 cm) yellow to red fleshy plum, ripening from June to August and containing one pit. Ripe plums have a whitish appearance (bloom) on the skin. ¹³

Varieties
The cultivar 'Guthrie' produces a large, yellow -skinned plum of good quality. 'Bruce is a hybrid between the Chickasaw plum and the Japanese plum. ⁴

Propagation
Fresh seeds should be kept warm for a couple months, then chilled for 2-4 months before planting. They may take two years to germinate. Cuttings are difficult to root. Use young, fast growing, soft wooded tips under mist with bottom heat. ⁸
Wild plums spread through root suckers, making vegetative propagation possible. Select young suckers that have developed some roots of their own. Loosen the soil around the sucker to find the originating root from the parent plant. Cut this root close to the sucker. Gently remove the sucker and rebury the root of the parent plant. ¹³

Pruning
Chickasaw plum usually produces suckers around the base of the trunk. If you prefer a groomed appearance, you can prune these back to keep the tree in its best form. Another option is to allow the suckers to grow into a thicket around the plant that can serve as a home for birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. ⁷

Pests/Diseases
No significant pests or diseases affect the tree. It is susceptible to vercillium wilt when planted on land formerly used for vegetable gardening. Tent caterpillars sometimes damage the foliage. ⁴

Food Uses
Wild plums have been utilized as food for centuries. Today, these species are eaten fresh or dried and are used in syrups, juice, jelly, jam, wine, fruit leather, meat recipes, and as part of various desserts. Substitute wild plums into a variety of recipes. ¹³
Wild plums can be stored through drying, freezing, fermenting, and canning. The flavor of wild plums ranges from sweet to sour, making jams and jellies one of the more popular preservation methods. ¹³

Other Uses
This shrub is a host plant for the larvae of a number of butterflies including Coral hairstreak (Satyrium titus), Eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus), Spring azure (Celastrina ladon), Viceroy (Limenitis archippus) and the Red-spotted purple (Limenitis arthemis astyanax). It also a host for the larvae of the Promethea silkmoth (Callosavia promethea), Imperial (Eaches imperialis), Polyphemus (Antheraea polyphemus) and the Cecropia (Hyalophora cecropia) moths.
Plant as a screen where its suckers are welcome (woodland edges, casual but large garden settings). Spreads by underground stems forming clumps small thickets. Individual trees are fairly short-lived but the thicket is long-lived. When short-shoots die off, they can be thorny. ¹⁰

General
Chickasaw plum, with its attractive bark, small leaves and slender branches, has been used for bonsai. ⁸
“Chickasaw” is Choctaw for “old” and “reside” or as we might say in English, “the old place.” ¹¹
