Anotations

Scope note:

Species of medium-sized deciduous Eurasian tree. All parts except the fruit are slightly toxic. The fruit is food for birds and mammals; some also crack open the stones to eat the kernel inside. The leaves provide food for some animals, including the case-bearer moth. The tree exudes a gum from wounds in the bark, by which it seals the wounds to exclude insects and fungal infections.
