Lots of beautiful blooms in the woods this time of year. These photos are of a wild plum tree. According to Ohio Trees, Bulletin 700-00 -When in bloom, the trees are a mass of white, highly fragrant flowers. Flowers appear before the leaves in April or May. The fruit is globular or rounded with thick, red to yellow skin that ripens in June or July. Early settlers of Ohio valued wild plums for jelly, plum butter, and preserves. I think the blooms are spectacular.
