What is another word for capulin?
Pronunciation: [kˈapjʊlˌɪn] (IPA) 
Capulin is a type of wild cherry tree found in America. However, the term capulin is not widely used and is often replaced by several alternative names. One common synonym for capulin is Prunus salicifolia, which refers to the cherry's resemblance to the willow tree. Other synonyms include Prunus serotina, which means late-black within the cherry family, and wild cherry.
