Typical Prunus cultivars

Introduction to Prunus names

On this page : Typical cultivars only. For types refer to the following

Prunus americana Marshall to Prunus crassipes Koidz. (Pt.1)

Prunus dasycarpa to Prunus persica (L.) Batsch var. platycarpa (Pt.2)

Prunus pseudoarmeniaca to Prunus zippeliana Miq. var. crassistyla (Pt.3)

In the records below, the first part of the main names is simplified. Taking the first cultivar as an example, the full botanical name should be (assuming that we got it correctly) :
Prunus avium (L.) L. var. duracina (L.) Schubler et Martens 'Grosse Schwarze Knorpel' or
Cerasus avium (L.) Moench subsp. duracina (L.) Janchen 'Grosse Schwarze Knorpel

The trade would write it thus : Prunus avium Grosse Schwarze Knorpel or Cerasus avium Grosse Schwarze Knorpel, even Prunus 'Grosse Schwarze Knorpel' as seen in some publications.

We prefer to introduce a cultivar group name because we wish to encourage the practice.
