About Prunus salasii

Prunus salasii, called carretero, carreto, cerezo, cereza or cereza montés in Guatemala, and sapoyolillo or zapoyolillo in Mexico, is a species of Prunus in the family Rosaceae. It is native to Chiapas in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. A fast-growing tree usually 9-15 m, but reaching 35 m, it is planted in Guatemalan ranches and parks as a shade tree. The resplendent quetzal favors it as a nesting site.
