Growing Information

The American Plum thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining, adaptable soil. Regular watering is important during establishment. Mature trees reach heights between 15 and 35 feet. This species is best planted in the ground rather than containers and is suitable for USDA zones 3 through 8. For optimal flowering and fruit production, plant in full sun and allow space for its spreading growth. Pruning can help shape the tree and manage its size.
