From the article page to the talk page
An IP editor placed this under the photo at Prunus nigra. I am placing it here so they're concern can be addressed: (opposite leaves? The description says alternate. This photo is of opposite leaves.)  Hamamelis (talk) 00:34, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I do think the photo shows alternate leaves, but the angle may make part of it appear as opposite. Maybe there is a better photo; I'll look. Hamamelis (talk) 00:37, 8 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, I looked ... Unfortunately, the other images at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Prunus_nigra are, to me, worse than the one used in the article. Hamamelis (talk) 01:18, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Extinct in Ohio?
This article mentions that the tree is thought to be extinct in Ohio. Today I discovered that is apparently not the case! Here is a documented Prunus nigra tree, a very large one at that, growing in Ohio that has been submitted to the Ohio big tree registry: http://www.nativetreesociety.org/fieldtrips/ohio/canada_plum/canada_plum.htm

This is from 2007 albeit and would need to be confirmed before it could be changed.
