Prunus alleghaniensis
Allegheny plum is a small native shrub or tree of eastern North America that bears white flowers and dark purple plums. It is grown mainly for wildlife value and spring blossom, and it needs a cold winter to fruit well.
Prunus alleghaniensis, the Allegheny plum, is a species of plum native to eastern North America.
The species is native to the Appalachian Mountains from New York to Kentucky and North Carolina, plus the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. There are old reports of it growing also in New Jersey and Connecticut, but it now appears to have been extirpated in those two states. It is typically found in elevations between 370 and 610 m (1,200 and 2,000 ft) and is uncommon in moist woodland.
