This showy tree with a suckering habit is a great choice for naturalizing and hedging, and tolerates even the driest, rockiest soil. Showy flowers appear mid-spring, followed by fruits and flocks of birds. Prunus species are among the most broadly beneficial native plants, supporting a diversity of birds and animals and hosting or supporting over 400 species of butterflies and moths.
