This species is widely distributed in the moist afro-montane forests of Ethiopia. The bark of this species is used to treat a certain type of cancer and is being heavily extracted elsewhere in Africa. But such use has not been in place in Ethiopia. On the other hand, the area, extent and quality of its habitats are continually declining. As a result, Prunus africana has been assessed as vulnerable.
