Bratoszewice, route to Kalinów
It is native to northern Europe and northern and north-east Asia, and is grown as an ornamental in North America.
Ornamental plant.
Edible plant - fruits raw or cooked; flowers chewed; young leaves cooked; seeds raw or cooked.
Herbal plant - the bark is mildly anodyne, diuretic, febrifuge and sedative; 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.
Useful plant - a dark red dye obtained from the fruit is used for colouring alcoholic beverages.
