Half of my two story Chickasaw plum tree (Prunus angustifolia) died almost two years ago yet the rest is still hanging in there. This past winter I planted a handful of Chickasaw plum seedlings around my rewilded yard to cover my bases if the other half dies - including in my right-of-way strip where I’m working to replace non-native Kousa dogwoods. My daughter kindly dug the holes for me to add more Chickasaw plums to my rewilded yard! Chickasaw plums are a fabulous keyston

Now that we’re finally getting consistent rain, I’ve been trying to plant out my larger native seedlings in between the showers so nature can do the heavy lifting of watering them for me.

I replanted all of them in a protected community garden bed in April
