Wild Plum — enjoy fruit from native plants in YOUR yard!

Our 5 different Wild Plum trees are fruiting! Well, the Beach Plum hasn’t fruited yet :/. We look at all 5 plum trees, and talk about their characteristics.
Wild Plums have been eaten by humans since the Neolithic age (10,000 years ago). Cultivated Plums have been developed for the last 2,000 years.
There are 15 Wild Plum trees native to North America (heppy.org/wild)! There’s a Wild Plum trtee that fits YOUR yard, patio, etc. They grow in hot and cold climates, are highly adaptable, more disease resistant and more drought tolerant than cultivated varieties. Wild Plum trees are our native American treasures.

About HEPPY™
in 2017 I started planting on a 2 acre abandoned property. We’re located only 10 miles south of the US Capitol but are surrounded by several hundred acres of forest and few homes. Our urban garden design, landscape architecture and permaculture techniques incorporate fruiting trees, fruiting shrubs, edible ground cover, edible flowers, and herbs and medicinal plants that will provide food for generations. It’s a long and slow ‘haul’ as we adapt, learn new things, and are (usually ;) enjoying the process.
HEPPY™ and HEPPY Lifestyle™ is about Quality of Life (QOL). It’s a lifestyle YOU deserve, and YOU can do.
QOL is permaculture to grow and eat nutritious food. QOL is physical exercise and physical health. It’s mental health to include rest, meditation, enjoyment of nature, and working at what makes you passionate. It’s about being creative, artistic and INVENTIVE. And, HEPPY emphasizes financial health by creating passive income, being self-sustaining and finding best value! It’s a lifestyle that will work for YOU!
