Scope note
General term referring to several species of trees and shrubs of the genus Prunus, native to Asia, Europe, and North America. Most produce small edible fruits, which are pale yellow to deep red or blackish smooth-skinned drupes enclosing a smooth seed. The wood is harvested. Some varieties are valued for their ornamental blossoms, for example, in Japan, where the annual appearance of cherry blossoms is a national observation.
