Report an issue with this species

Prunus fruticans is a highly variable hybrid, typically growing as a shrub but also known in tree-like forms, allied to blackthorn, bullace, and damsons. It is primarily found in Europe, where the ranges of its parent species overlap. Due to its complex hybrid origin and diverse morphology, accurate field identification is often difficult.
