Prunus alabamensis
Also called Alabama Black Cherry
Alabama cherry (Prunus alabamensis) is an uncommon, small deciduous tree in the rose family, native to dry woodlands of the southeastern United States. It is rarely grown in gardens, and it is closely related to the more widespread black cherry (Prunus serotina).
Prunus alabamensis, the Alabama cherry or Alabama black cherry, is an uncommon to rare species of tree in the rose family endemic to parts of the Southeastern United States. It is closely related to and found wholly within the range of Prunus serotina (black cherry), a more common and widespread species also native to the region. Alabama cherry is sometimes considered to be a variety of P. serotina (i.e. Prunus serotina var. alabamensis), but most authors treat it as a distinct species.
Alabama cherry is known to occur in the Southeastern US states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina. It is rare to uncommon in its range. It grows in mixed oak-pine-hickory forests in sandy or rocky dry woodlands, on rocky slopes and sandhills, and on the summits of low mountains, often associated with longleaf pine (Pinus palustris). It grows at elevations of 20–700 m (66–2,297 ft).
