Comments (6)scotjute What an interesting choice ... I did some research on this plant and found that it is native to oklahoma and in fact even to my county where I live but I have never seen it around. I seen lots of Prunus americana which is a suckering shrub but Mexican Plum is a NON suckering form of Plum and is a highly praised,,, read this site tree.edis.ifas.ufl.edu/st511 It was praised on almost every site I looked at my only cocncern would be the mess when fruiting but I have another place in my yard that it would be prefect for but finding one may be a challange ! There is only one native nursery I know of here in Oklahoma and it is about 60 miles from where I live but thats no problem but I have been there several time but have never seen this there. I may have to find some seed. Thanks I love finding new fasanting plants......See Morelooking for small tree
Comments (2)I signed up with the Arbor Day Foundation (arborday.org) and will get 10 free seedlings soon and they just sent me their tree book. With my order, I get a free Red Maple Tree, 3'-4', and the prices in the booklet were reasonable and discounted for members....See Morelooking for small tree or tree-like shrub
Comments (4)I'm too far north to imagine what the banana might look like, but I bet it would be nice. And the fan palm would be lovely. Chaste tree, Vitex angus-castus, is a pretty southern substitute for lilac, with grey-green leaves and beautiful blue flowers. Desert willow seems like it would be nice, too -- not sure how tall they get. Fothergilla is beautiful in bloom; you could prune it to a single stem I think. Sterile Rose of Sharon, trimmed to tree-form would be an unusual, tropical looking plant. (I did this with regular ROS and while I loved the look, the seedlings were killer!) Hope you find something that works for you -- looks like a lovely space!...See Moresocalgal_gw Zone USDA 10b Sunset 24
