Best Answer

Prunus avium is the scientific, Latin or binomial name for the wild cherry tree.

Humans may share with wildlife a love for the tree's wild fruit. But that is the only tree body part that is edible. All other parts may be upsetting or irritating to the human palate because of the mildly toxic cyanogenic glycoside molecules that they contain.
