Curiosity
Myrobalan (Prunus cerasifera) it is a species native to the Balkan Peninsula and Asia Minor; introduced into the Mediterranean by the Romans around 150 a.C.. today it is widespread and cultivated in practically all temperate climates. It is a rustic species that has become wild (in its original form), similar to the European plum so much that the plant is used with excellent results as a rootstock for various stone fruit (susino, mandorlo, apricot-tree).
It is in fact a plant that never failed in the courtyards of country houses, for its abundant spring flowering and copious fruit production.
The fruit contains vitamins A-B1-B2 and C and some mineral salts, including especially potassium, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium. Particularly appetite from insects, birds and mammals, this fruit represents an interesting attraction for particularly greedy boars and foxes that supplement the diet in times of food shortages.
