One of the things I forgot to mention is the Chickasaw plum is virtually maintenance free. It makes a very nice hedge plant and spreads easily. Or you can plant the seeds, it's a fast grower.
Hard to think these tasty little buggers could be forgotten. I just found my first wild plums yesterday, Prunus americana, and I think they taste great. Is there a reason you don't include the Latin names in the video description? Thanks!
I went to your website and was looking for some info re: sugar berry tree. I saw a mention of "pin berry" and "chokecherry". But there was no picture. I live in Texas, near Abilene, and a common wild tree here seems to be a "sweet berry tree" similar to the picture and discription but the berries are very small and dark brown/red when ripe. The seed is large compared to the thin flesh of the fruit. The seed when broke open tastes of almond (knew to spit it out).
Wow, what a great vintage UA-cam find. Everything but the compressed quality holds up
Thank you !

Thank you so much! I found it. It is a Celtis laevigata var. reticulata or Sugar Hackberry native to Texas.
If this is the tree I think it is the blossoms smell so good. The best smelling flower I've ever experienced.
Very much like honey, at least the one that grew in my parents' yard.
@AresCassell It's on my website in an article about the plum. But I think it is Prunus angustifolia.
love how you identify birds too
I often do include the botanical names. It's a one-man operation and sometimes I just forget.
good to see you again!
ah, fresh ants! gotta love it :)

Thanks! I only asked because I thought there might have been a specific reason.
Try the article on Hackberry, or google Celtis occidentalis or Celtis laevigata.
