    I would like to purchase Prunus Spinosa. I have done some research on the Internet and in local nurseries and had hard time to locate any nursery in Canada where I would buy the bush. Any help?

    Not a particularly special plant - often considered a weed here, usually only planted within its native area for its wildlife value, which of course won't apply to an introduced plant in Canada. Is there any special reason why you want it?

    I'd suggest best to go for a related Ontario native species like Prunus americana or P. nigra.
