Prunus cerasus

The larva lives in the shoots of Prunus cerasus.

Cultivars of the sour cherry Prunus cerasus that are grafted onto dwarfing rootstocks.

The larvae feed on Prunus cerasus and Prunus padus.

In the first edition of Species Plantarum (1753), Linnaeus treated it as only a variety, Prunus cerasus var.

Sour Cherry (Prunus cerasus or Cerasus vulgaris; Paprastoji vyšnia)

The name assigned by Linnaeus is Prunus cerasus pumila, where pumila means "dwarf" (a rare word in Latin) and must come from Bauhin.

The larvae feed on Crataegus, Apple, Prunus cerasus, Prunus spinosa (and perhaps other Prunus), Pyrus communis (and perhaps other Pyrus species), Sorbus and Cotoneaster.

Cultivated sour cherries were selected from wild specimens of Prunus cerasus and the doubtfully distinct P. acida from around the Caspian and Black Seas, and were known to the Greeks in 300 BC.

Prunus avium is thought to be one of the parent species of Prunus cerasus (sour cherry) by way of ancient crosses between it and Prunus fruticosa (dwarf cherry) in the areas where the two species overlap.

The larvae feed on Crataegus, Prunus cerasus vulgaris, Prunus avium, Prunus virginiana, Prunus spinosa, Prunus domestica, Prunus armeniaca, Malus and Pyrus.

The larvae feed on Amelanchier ovalis, Cotoneaster integerrimus, Crataegus, Cydonia oblonga, Malus domestica, Mespilus germanica, Prunus cerasus, Pyrus communis, Sorbus aria, Sorbus aucuparia, Sorbus intermedia and Sorbus torminalis.

Those forest plants are brought into closer contact with Prunus fruticosa by the modern disappearance of "contemporaneous sites of the steppe relics" once common in northern Poland, due to forest management since the 18th century, and the planting of stands of Prunus cerasus, which are more prolific in pollen.
