Was brush hogging some super thick briars that had totally covered these trees. Noticed they were loaded with fruit. These are wild plum right? I haven't seen fruit on them much in the past. Hopefully if I clear off the briars they will produce better.





This guy was poking around in there later that night.

Sandy Plums

deer eat them?

Yes!

2nd the sand plum id

Wild plums is what we call them....great for wildlife

I think if i clean up around them they should produce better, briars had 70% covered uo.

ALSO GREAT FOR JELLY!!!

Great find on your property.

Set a blind up facing that tree - better than corn. I hunted a place in OK and we set up blinds near both wild plum and persimmon trees. Every year, the best deer were taken from these blinds.

wild plums and everything eats them....I've heard they make very good plum jelly but never had any.

Makes great jelly and takes a lot of sugar but has a sweet and tart flavor, just watch for chiggers, wasp nest and snakes that show up looking for the mice feeding on fallen fruit.

When mowing fence lines, I’d pick a few going by and eat them.

Great find! On an old lease we discovered an apple and plum orchard close to a long past homestead. Only a few of the trees were producing and some held fruit until fall for some reason. Biggest buck taken off that lease was in that old orchard.

Chickasaw Plum!
