Read detailed description :

From Minier researching, this 'Le Thoureil' variety is a small and easy growing tree, erect and covered in long bunches of white, almond perfumed flowers in April-May. The bark is brown with rust coloured spots. At the end of summer, little edible, but bitter berries appear, good for vinegars and other age-old recipes. Can be formed as a shrub.
