Prunus × cistena ( N.E.Hansen ) Koehne Prunus × cistena , the purple leaf sand cherry or dwarf red-leaf plum , is a hybrid species of Prunus , the result of a cross between Prunus cerasifera (cherry plum or myrobalan plum) and Prunus pumila (sand cherry). [ 1 ]
Prunus × cistena (purple leaf sand cherry), a hybrid of Prunus cerasifera and Prunus pumila, the sand cherry, also won the Award of Garden Merit.

Prunus americana, commonly called the American plum, [7] wild plum, or Marshall's large yellow sweet plum, is a species of Prunus native to North America from Saskatchewan and Idaho south to New Mexico and east to Québec, Maine and Florida. [8] Prunus americana has often been planted outside its native range and sometimes escapes cultivation. [9]
The species' hybrid parentage was believed to be Prunus spinosa and P. cerasifera; [4] [5] however, recent cytogenetic evidence seem to implicate 2×, 4×, 6× [a] P. cerasifera as the sole wild stock from which the cultivated 6× P. domestica could have evolved.

Four main varieties of bullace are recognised in England: the White, Black, Shepherd's and Langley. [1] The bullace may be found as a small tree, growing to around 8 metres in height, or as a bush, distinguishable from the sloe by its broader leaves and small number or complete absence of spines.
Supposedly, the labels identifying the French plum trees were lost in transit to Gage's home at Hengrave Hall, near Bury St Edmunds. [5] More recent research indicates that it was a cousin and namesake Sir William Gage, 2nd Baronet of Hengrave who was responsible for introducing the greengage to England.
