Prunus pedunculata

Prunus pedunculata is a species of Prunus known in China as long‑peduncled almond (长梗扁桃).

It is native to China (particularly the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), Mongolia and nearby sections of Siberia.

A small bush, reaching 1-2 m, its pink flowers allow it to be used as an ornamental.

Adapted to cold, arid environments, its many‑stemmed growth habit fixes blowing sand, an important contribution to succession.

[1] As Amygdalus pedunculatus Pall., it seems to be being evaluated for its seed oil potential.
