~ First Blooms ~
It only took two days of sunshine and the fruit trees were ready to go. I have several Chickasaw Plum trees that I transplanted to my back yard a few years ago ~ and I am always anxious to see those first blooms.
The Chickasaw Plum tree, Prunus angustifolia, is a deciduous multi-stemmed shrub or small tree which occurs in thickets, pastures, fields, fence rows, stream banks and disturbed areas. Beautiful 5-petaled white flowers appear along the stems in March before the foliage emerges.
