Deer Plum™
Our Deer Plums are a great source of food and cover for deer and other wildlife alike. A variety derived from the native American Plum, our Deer Plum™ is small thicket forming tree creating great cover for deer, rabbits, turkeys, quail, and others. They also produce 1in diameter plums that are a favorite of many species. The thick branches and shoots of these plums also provides excellent browse for deer. Plums love old field type habitat, old fencerows, and windbreaks but do well in nearly any area. They are very hardy and adaptable.
