About

Prunus bucharica is a species of wild almond native to Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan, preferring to grow at 1000-1800 m above sea level. Long thought to be one of the wild species that contributed to the origin of the cultivated almond, genetic testing of both nuclear and chloroplast DNA has shown that to be untrue; the closest relative of Prunus dulcis is Prunus fenzliana.
