Chickasaw Plum is a hardy native shrub or small tree that thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soil types. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system, then reduce to occasional deep watering. It requires minimal pruning and care once established, making it an excellent low-maintenance landscape plant.
