Was just out picking wild plums. The fruits are red with yellow patches or 
streaks, 3/4" dia., fairly bland flavor, not too sour, even sweet if well 
ripened. The leaf margins and petiole nodes match the above url's  p. nigra 
description. And the region matches. I always presumed we had p.americana.
  So I just went into our fledgling orchard and took a couple p. americana 
leaves....same petiole nodes, leaf margins same toothed pattern but somewhat 
sharper.
In the above url's description  they mention chokecherry etc. for similar 
plants but not americana...could nigra and americana be one and the same?
