Cultivated in temperate to warm-temperate regions, predominantly in Central, S and SE Europe, further on in N Africa, W Asia, India and North America. The origin of this hexaploid species is still doubtful: 1. It may be an amphiploid hybrid of P. cerasifera (2n) and P. spinosa (4n) or represent 2. selections of hexaploid accessions from the gene-pool of P. cerasifera.

A virus with RNA-containing spherical particles sedimenting as a single component. Readily transmitted by inoculation with sap and by beetles. Infects species of Phaseolus and some other leguminous genera, causing mild symptoms. Often occurs in mixed infections with other viruses. (DPVweb.net. 1981.

The blackthorn (Prunus spinosa L.) is a spiny, deciduous shrub which produces small, purple, edible plums (sloes). It is cultivated as an ornamental plant and for fruit production, used to make jams, wine, vinegar and distillates. (Adapted from Popescu, I., Caudullo, G., 2016.
