Mexican Plum

The Mexican Plum tree is a winter hardy tree. Their flowers are white, and it is native to woodlands and thickets. Their fragrant, showy flowers blossom in the spring, and during the fall, the foliage turns orange and red. This tree is a host for the tiger swallowtail butterfly larva, and it attracts a variety of birds. The Mexican Plum’s fruit feeds birds and mammals. There are no serious insect or disease problems. The ideal planting location would be an area where there aren't a lot of people walking underneath it as the fruit will fall from the tree’s branches. Examples of things to avoid when planting include sidewalks, patios, driveways, or pools.
