Prunus serotina
includes most of eastern North America as far north as southern Canada. It extends west into Texas and there are spotty occurrences as far west as Arizona. In Florida, the range appears to be continuous as far south as the central peninsula after which it disappears, a pattern generally associated with temperature. This species should grow well down to the central peninsula. Some people consider this to be a weed tree. This author has it in my "field" where it is thriving and very welcome. It is an early successional tree, but not a problem plant. The tree lis an important component of deciduous forests in north Florida and eastern North America.
