SPECIES: Prunus fremontii | Desert Apricot

IMPORTANCE TO LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE :
Desert apricot has little or no value to browsing animals. Tannic acids
and cyanogenic glucosides in the leaves discourage consumption.
Extrafloral nectaries attract a variety of insects, particularly wasps
and ants, to the leaves. The presence of these insects further
discourages browsing [8,14].
