Taken in early Spring along the Arkansas River in Southeast Colorado.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 Québec, Maine and Florida.Wild Plum can grow as a single stemmed tree or as a multi stemmed shrub, as a shrub it can grow new stems from areas further away from the initial crown that share the same root system. If this is the case, you may notice that there is a mass of Wild Plum shrubs in a concentrated area. The combination of the reddish fruit and white flowers of the Wild Plum set it apart from most other trees and shrubs.
