Small Native Tree | Wildlife Attractor | Spring Bloomer

Flatwood Plum is a hardy, deciduous Florida native prized for its showy spring blossoms and wildlife value. In early spring, it produces a profusion of white flowers before the foliage emerges, followed by small, edible purple fruits that attract birds and pollinators. Its naturally slender, rounded form makes it ideal for native landscapes, wildlife gardens, and restoration projects.

USDA Growing Zones

Zone 7–9

Sun Requirements

Grows best in full sun to partial shade. Flowering and fruiting are more abundant in full sun.

Planting Instructions

Space at least 10–15 feet apart from other trees or structures.

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep.

Backfill with native soil and water thoroughly after planting.

Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch, keeping it away from the trunk.

Soil Requirements

Tolerates a wide range of soil types including sandy, loamy, and slightly acidic soils. Prefers well-drained soil but can tolerate some seasonal moisture.

Fertilizer

Use a balanced slow-release fertilizer (such as 10-10-10) in early spring during the first two years to establish growth. Afterward, mature trees generally do not require regular feeding.

Watering

Water deeply once or twice a week during the establishment period (first 6–8 weeks). Once established, Flatwood Plum is moderately drought tolerant and only needs supplemental water during extended dry periods.

Pruning

Minimal pruning is required.

Prune in late winter to remove dead, crossing, or weak branches.

Shaping may be done to maintain a small tree form or to raise the canopy.

What Makes It Thrive

Planted in full sun with good air circulation

Well-drained soil with organic content

Consistent moisture during establishment

Minimal pruning to encourage natural form

Flatwood Plum is an excellent native option for attracting pollinators and providing food for birds and small mammals. Its low maintenance needs, seasonal interest, and adaptability make it a strong choice for residential or naturalized plantings across much of Florida.
