Prunus domestica Prunus domestica Prunus domestica (sometimes referred to as "Prunus × domestica") is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. A deciduous tree, it includes many varieties of the fruit trees known as plums in English, though not all plums belong to this species. The greengages and damsons also belong to subspecies of "P. domestica". Its hybrid parentage was believed to be "Prunus spinosa" and "Prunus cerasifera".; however recent cytogenetic evidence seem to implicate 2x, 4x, 6x "P. cerasifera" as the sole wild stock from which the cultivated 6x prunus domestica could have evolved. This is the most commonly
Prunus tianshanica Prunus tianshanica Prunus tianshanica, the Tianshan cherry, is a species of cherry native to the Tianshan Mountains of Central Asia, preferring to grow at 800-1000m. "Prunus tianshanica" is a shrub reaching . The bark is grey, turning browner with age. The flowers are pink, and the dark red fruits, although small, are high in sugar and pleasant to the taste. It hybridizes naturally with "Prunus cerasifera", and the offspring produce fruit. A phylogenetic reconstruction using twelve chloroplast loci and three nuclear genes of 84 species of "Prunus" shows that "Cerasus" is indisputably a synonym (and subgenus) of "Prunus" and that
