Prunus americana, commonly called the American plum, [7] wild plum, or Marshall's large yellow sweet plum, is a species of Prunus native to North America from Saskatchewan and Idaho south to New Mexico and east to Québec, Maine and Florida. [8] Prunus americana has often been planted outside its native range and sometimes escapes cultivation. [9]
It matures in late summer or early autumn. The cotyledons are thick and fleshy. The species grows best in alluvial soils. [7] [8] [9] [5] It can easily be confused with the related Prunus americana, differing most obviously in the leaf margins having blunt, gland-tipped teeth, rather than the sharp, glandless teeth of P. americana leaves.

Prunus mume should not be confused with Prunus salicina, a related species also grown in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Another tree, Prunus japonica, is also a separate species despite having a Latin name similar to Prunus mume's common name.
