Prunus pedunculata is a species of Prunus known in China as longpeduncled almond (长梗扁桃). It is native to China (particularly the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), Mongolia and nearby sections of Siberia. A small bush, reaching 1-2m, its pink flowers allow it to be used as an ornamental. Adapted to cold, arid environments, its manystemmed growth habit fixes blowing sand, an important contribution to succession.[1] As Amygdalus pedunculatus Pall., it seems to be being evaluated for its seed oil potential.[2] [3]
