Prunus laurocerasus, also known as cherry laurel, common laurel and sometimes English laurel in North America, is an evergreen species of cherry (Prunus), native to regions bordering the Black Sea in southwestern Asia and southeastern Europe.
The fruit look much more delicious than they taste. The resemblance to other Prunus is unmistakeable but they are sometimes very bitter and astringent, and even when not bitter the astringency is still there. Cooking or preservation might improve the flavor.
