Prunus triloba var. multiplex Double-flowering almond
Alternate, simple, and obovate to sometimes broad elliptic, the 1 1/2 - 2 1/2" leaves are coarsely serrate with a hint of 2 additional lobes, hence the name, triloba. The leaves have only a small amount of pubescence below.
The extra lobes and sparce pubescence distinguish this species from the unlobed and densely pubescent (underside) leaves of Prunus tomentosa. The leaves have a broad cuneate base with an acuminate apex.
