Week 2 - June Plum (Oemleria cerasiformis) FD2

 

The June Plum from the Rosaceae family, is a small shrub native to Southern and Western Washington, west of the Cascades. The June Plum has little fruit drupes that are edible and alternate simple leaves with entire margins. An ecological adaptation is that animals eat that fruit then aid in seed dispersal.
