Prunus vachuschtii, Georgian: ალუჩა, romanized: alucha, is a species of plum that is native to the Caucasus region.

In Georgia, it is usually eaten by hand and is used to make tkemali, a tart sauce for meat dishes.

Although it is probably conspecific with Prunus cerasifera, the cherry plum (in Georgian: ტყემალი, romanized: t'q'emali), Georgians distinguish the two botanically and culinarily.

[1] In the Caucasus, P. vachuschtii tends to be found from Caspian sea level up to 500–700 m and P. cerasifera tends to be found at higher elevations, up to 1600–1800 m.[citation needed] N. N. Bregadze, who was apparently quite the splitter, described the species in 1976, and identified three forms; Prunus vachuschtii f. imeretinea, P. v. f. meczibuche, and P. v. f.

vachuschtii.
