Cherry Plum | Rose family |
Prunus cerasifera | Rosaceae |
Cherry Plum blossoms in early spring, at a similar time to Blackthorn. In addition to the lack of spines, it may also be distinguished from Blackthorn at flowering time because the leaves appear with the flowers (Blackthorn flowers appear well before the leaves).
