CRABAPPLE CHICKASAW

How to tell the difference: Chickasaw Plum vs. Chickasaw Crabapple 🌿

These two plants get mixed up all the time because the names sound similar — but they’re not the same plant.

🍎 Chickasaw Crabapple (Malus ioensis)

• Makes small crabapples with a core + multiple seeds

• Usually grows as a small tree

• Typically not thorny

• Beautiful spring blooms and excellent for pollinators

• 🍑 Chickasaw Plum (Prunus angustifolia)

  • Makes small plums with ONE pit

  • Often grows in dense thickets (spreads by suckers)

  • Can have thorny twigs

  • Great wildlife plant + makes a great jelly plum!

   

✅ Fastest way to tell:
👉 Cut the fruit open. Pit = plum. Core = crabapple.
