Prunus havardii
Also called Havard Plum
Havard's plum is a rare, low spiny shrub from arid western Texas and northern Chihuahua, grown mainly for its white spring flowers and hardiness in dry, sunny sites. It is a species of Prunus, so it shares the stone-fruit relatives' cyanogenic compounds in its seeds and leaves.
Prunus havardii, called Havard's wild almond or Havard's plum, is a rare North American species of shrub tree in the genus Prunus, part of the rose family.
