Prunus humilis

Prunus humilis is a deciduous Shrub growing to 1.5 m (5ft).
It is hardy to zone (UK) 5. It is in flower from Apr to May, and the seeds ripen from Jul to October. The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Insects.Suitable for: light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils and prefers well-drained soil. Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. It cannot grow in the shade. It prefers moist soil.
The seed is aperient and diuretic. It lowers blood pressure. It is used in the treatment of constipation and oedema. Although no specific mention has been seen for this species, all members of the genus contain amygdalin and prunasin, substances which break down in water to form hydrocyanic acid (cyanide or prussic acid). In small amounts this exceedingly poisonous compound stimulates respiration, improves digestion and gives a sense of well-being.
