Description
A description of Prunus angustifolia is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
P. angustifolia has been found in areas with loamy sand, open pine woodlands, ephemeral pond shores, and longleaf-live oak hammocks.[1] It is also found in disturbed areas including along hiking trails, old fields, along fences, and along roadsides.[1] Associated species: Crataegus, Morella, Quercus, Smilax, Pinus, Juniperus, Trifolium, Bromus, Sphenopholiss, Castilleja, and Gelsemium.[2][3][4]
Phenology
P. angustifolia has been observed flowering in February and March.[5]
Pollination
Prunus angustifolia has been observed at the Archbold Biological Station to host bees from the Apidae family such as Bombus impatiens, and Epeolus zonatus, as well as plasterer bees from the Colletidae family such as Colletes brimleyi, and Hylaeus confluens, sweat bees from the Halictidae family such as Agapostemon splendens, Augochlora pura, Lasioglossum pectoralis, and L. placidensis, and wasps from the Vespidae family such as Pachodynerus erynnis, Parancistrocerus salcularis rufulus, and Zethus slossonae.[6] Additionally, P. angustifolia has been observed to host bees from the Andrenidae family such as Andrena barbara, A. bisalicis, A. dunningi, A. erythrogaster, and A. miserabilis, as well as bees from the Apidae family such as Epeolus zonatus, Habropoda laboriosa, Xylocopa micans, and X. virginica, plasterer bees such as Colletes thoracicus (family Colletidae), and sweat bees from the Halictidae family such as Lasioglossum cinctipes, L. hitchensi, and L. illinoense.[7]
Conservation, cultivation, and restoration
Cultural use
The plum fruit has long been eaten fresh or used in pies, jellies, sauces, and dried fruit.[8]
