I live in zone 6. I haven't seen a wild plum tree in several years. So...what's up with that?
Where have all the wild plums gone

I don't remember ever noticing one now that I think about it. Plenty of ancient apple trees growing wild, but no plums.

Plenty of them around here. DH grubbed hundreds out when he cleaned out our rear woods. 'Sides that, we purchased 25 wild plum trees from our extension office.

I have one growing at the edge of my garden.
It is nearly 500 miles too far north for a Klamath Plum. The tree blooms in outrageous profusion, well before final frosts. Apparently, the daylight hours are long enuf to prompt the flowering. Then, I have about 5 plums off what must be a very olde tree.

I found one a couple years back while out picking blackberries. Went back last summer with hopes of making jam only to find the property had been posted no trespassing. Bummer!
