2011-03-31 Lower Austria, district Schwechat (National park, 158 m AMSL).This is some Prunus domestica hybrid (indeed!), despite the reddish-brownish leaves. Fruit of this tree taste similar to Prunus domestica subsp. insititia ('Kriecherl' in Austrian German) but are significantly bigger; they're relatively sour and not very rich in flavour.The tree either has been planted with no intent of harvesting the fruit (I've never seen anybody picking them, and no wonder as they don't taste particularly good), or if it isn't it could be an escapee from culture.Some shots of fruit will follow.

2013-04-15 Lower Austria, district Schwechat (170 msm Quadrant 7864/4).Spring finally - Prunus, at last, is flowering fully! They're late, they should have begun flowering a fortnight ago at least (here in Vienna oftentimes even by end of march, or at least early in april).Prunus is one of the markers of 'first spring' ('Erstfrhling' in German); previously only (mainly) early spring plants (mainly geophytes) are flowering. Extraordinary heavy comebacks of winter in march and april delayed spring this year.Endlich Frhling - die Prunus-Vollblte hat begonnen! Wir sind spt dran: blicherweise beginnt die 14 Tage frher (hier in Wien oft schon Ende Mrz oder doch zumindest Anfang April).Die Prunus-Blte ist eine der Zeigerpflanzen fr den sogenannten "Erstfrhling", mit dem der Frhling erst so richtig beginnt - bisher haben (fast) nur die Vorfrhlingsblher (insbes. Geophyten) geblht. Die spten Wintereinbrche im Mrz und April haben den Frhlingsbeginn heuer so stark verzgert.

2011-04-02 Lower Austria, district Schwechat - bordering on Vienna XI. district; brownlands (170 msm Quadrant 7864/4).This is some cultivar of Prunus domestica gone wild, the type which is called "Griecherl, Gria" here in Austria. Its flowers are very similar to Prunus spinosa, but while the latter begins flowering without any green leaves on its twigs there's already green growth on those other Prunus species.
