Mexican Plum Tree
Hi Jen,
I’d like to plant a Mexican Plum tree in my back yard, but I’m having a hard time locating it at the gardening centers. Do you happen to know where I can purchase one?
Thanks,
Maria Cypher, The Woodlands, Texas
Hi Maria,
TreeSearch Farms which is a Houston grower and not open to the public grows the Mexican Plum. Please contact Jenscapes if you are interested.
The Mexican Plum is starting to go into dormancy. Trees going dormant look inactive going into winter but the fact is they continue to regulate their metabolism and only slow down some physiological activities. Trees still continue to slowly grow roots, respire and take in water and nutrients. .
Heidi Sheesley ,the owner of TreeSearch Farms discussed this tree in her lecture and says that it is a fabulous native spring blooming tree with very fragrant white flowers! Starts blooming in early March. Produces a small edible plum, great for making jellies and jams. Slowly grows to about 20′ x 18′. tough and drought tolerant one established. Will grow in full sun or light shade & must have good drainage. The Mexican Plum is on my top ten tree list. Sharing the plums with the Tweet Tweets is a MUST.

Appreciate the help…here is a tip my grandpa used to tell people ” The best way to garden is to put on a wide-brimmed straw hat and some old clothes. And with a hoe in one hand and a cold drink in the other, tell somebody else where to dig.”
