Cerasus polytricha (Koehne) T. T. Yu & C. L. Li[2]
Prunus polytricha (
Chinese: 多毛樱桃, hairy cherry, or 多毛野樱桃, hairy wild cherry) is a species of
cherry native to Gansu, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces of China, typically found at 1100–3300m above sea level. It is a shrub or low tree typically 2–12m tall and prefers
mesic hills and
forest edges. It is found in old growth oak forests[3] and in semi-cultivation in windbreaks.[4] Its buds, leaves and seeds are consumed by the golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana).[5]
