Descripción
Species of small tree or large shrub native to middle and southern Europe, western and central Asia, and northwestern Africa. It produces a small thin-fleshed cherry-like drupe, the kernel of which is used in perfumery and as a flavoring that tastes like bitter almond. It is also used in dye-making. The hard wood is used for small objects. The fruits are strung as beads in Africa and Asia. The tree is also used as dwarf stock for grafting branches of cultivated edible cherries.
