Bright leaves on the wild plum thicket have begun to fall---even the floor beneath its canopy now glows! #wildplum #leaves #glowing #golden #floor #fall

I felt I needed sun glasses before the sun came out this morning--those wild-plum leaves were so so bright!!! #fall #colour #leaves #WildPlum #golden #morning #light

Wild plums look unripe but they’re perfect. Just touch them and they fall. Good and sweet this year. #wildplum #fruit #harvest

Two small cherry-sized, yellow-orange-red gradient plums leaning against each other and clinging to a branch of a wild thicket plum. Vibrant green and naturally wrinkled, finely serrated leaves with delicate red leaf stems surround the plums. The smooth deep purple branches are covered with tiny soft green lichens and in the background behind the many leaves are more little yellow plums waiting to ripen and fall to the ground. A text overlay in yellow all caps font with a red shadow reads: Quapaw plum Prunus hortulana. The text is framing the plums. On the top and bottom is a thin border or dark purple

Quapaw plum (Prunus hortulana)

Flavor is similar to one of those

Wild Plums are perhaps the most overlooked, underrated native plant. Early season blooms for pollinators, dense thicket structure for nesting and cover, and delicious fruit that ripens by late summer. (Prunus sp.)

Rains falling over Central Florida this evening, which means another cold snap. Looking after my Wild Plum (Harpephyllum caffrum) in the ground today.
