Prunus virginiana produces an abundance of sparkling fruits that birds love. They can be picked to make jam. Fast-growing, this small native tree is easy to grow and tolerates poor soils.

Sowing method : Mix seeds with an equal amount of damp sand or vermiculite. Place the mixture in a sealed plastic bag. Store the bag in a refrigerator or cool storage room for 90 days. Sow seeds when there is no risk of ground frost. Or plant the seeds outdoors during the fall. Germination will occur the following spring or later on.
