Prunus mandshurica, also called Manchurian apricot and scout apricot,[ citation needed] is a tree in the genus Prunus.
It was first described by Karl Maximovich in 1883 as a variety of the Siberian apricot (Tibetan apricot) Prunus armeniaca. [3] It is resistant to cold and is native to northeast China, Korea, and Manchuria. It is highly susceptible to plum pox potyvirus. [4]
Prunus mandshurica is a deciduous, broad-leaved tree, which grows to a height of about 10 m (33 ft). The inner bark is red and the outer bark is black. The leaves are oval, with an elongated tip ( acuminate or caudate), some hairs, and serrated edges. The tree grows best in loam soils. Its petioles are 3 cm (1.2 in). The sepals and petals are oval, while the length of the stamens is similar to that of the stigma, which is cup-shaped. Flowers appear in spring and are white or pale pink. [5] Fruits appear in late summer and are yellow with some red. In the autumn, the leaves turn golden orange. [6] [7] [8] [9]
Seed oil from P. mandshurica has been studied as a source of biodiesel. The oil content of Prunus sibirica seeds is lower but also has potential as a source of biodiesel. It has been used in cosmetics, soaps, and cold creams, and is also a source of the antimicrobial phloretin. Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine believe that the dried kernels are useful for treating asthma and constipation. [7] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]
Cultivars include the 'Mandan', hybrids 'Moongold' and 'Sungold', [7] and var. glabra. [3]
In China, it is known as the northeastern apricot ( Chinese: 东北杏) or Liaoning apricot ( Chinese: 辽杏)–; both names describe the geographical position of Manchuria. In Korean, it is known as the gaesalgu tree (개살구나무).
