Prunus americana is described by the University of Minnesota source as a native Prunus used for comparison in discussions of invasive potential and seed behavior. It is noted for broad habitat adaptation, high germination, and clonal spread by root suckers, which can allow it to form thick vegetative stands [S1].
The same source says this invasive character matters because P. americana occurs in the background of many interspecific winter hardy plum cultivars [S1].
For seed propagation, endocarp scarification or removal is reported to improve germination percentage and speed germination. One cited storage result reports 70% germination after 18 months at 7-10°C [S1].
