Prunus × mohacsyana

Prunus × mohacsyana (or Prunus mohacsyana) is a hybrid species of cherry.[1] It is a naturally occurring offspring of dwarf cherry, Prunus fruticosa, and introduced sweet cherry, Prunus avium, found where their ranges overlap in Central Europe. Since they are triploid, they are probably sterile.[1] It was first formally described in 1944 by Zoltán Kárpáti.[2][3]
