Prunus spinosa, as the binomial, scientific designation, and sloe, in the common nomenclature, are additional names for the blackthorn tree. The scientific name means "spiny plum" in English since the tree is a thorny relative of the plum tree. The common name refers to the blue-black color of the woody plant in question's sour fruits.
