''Prunus grayana'' (syn. ''Padus grayana'' (Maxim.) C.K.Schneid., ''Prunus padus'' var. ''japonica'' Miq.; Japanese bird cherry or Gray's bird cherry; Japanese ウワミズザクラ ''Uwa-mizu-zakura''; Chinese 灰叶稠李 ''hui ye chou li'') is a species of cherry native to Japan and China, occurring at medium altitudes of 1,000–3,800 m in the temperate zone. It prefers sunshine and moist (but drained) soil.〔Flora of China: (''Padus grayana'' )〕〔Japanese Tree Encyclopedia: (Uwamizuzakura ''Prunus grayana'' )〕〔Germplasm Resources Information Network: (''Prunus grayana'' )〕 It is a small deciduous tree reaching a height of 8–20 m. The trunk is slender with smooth grey to purple-grey bark marked with horizontal brown lenticels, with a strong smell when cut. The leaves are elliptical to ovoid, 4–10 cm long and 1.8–4.5 cm broad, with a serrated margin with aristate tips to the serrations. The lowest teeth of a leaf feature two glands. The flowers are produced on 5–8 cm long racemes, each flower 7–10 mm diameter, with five white petals; they are hermaphroditic, and appear in mid-spring after the leaves. The fruit is a small drupe, about 8 mm in diameter, green at first, then red and finally ripening black in mid summer.〔〔〔Botanic Japan: (''Prunus grayana'' ) (in Japanese; (google translation ).〕〔Huxley, A., ed. (1992). ''New RHS Dictionary of Gardening''. Macmillan ISBN 0-333-47494-5.〕 It is very closely related to ''Prunus padus'' (Bird cherry), differing in the aristate tips to the leaf serration (blunt-pointed in ''P. padus''), and the longer style in the flower.〔〔Flora of China: (''Padus'' )〕 ==Uses== The flowers, fruit and seed are all edible and are prepared and eaten in Japan. The fruit can be preserved with salt to make a dish called Anningo. The bark and roots are the source of a green dye. The wood is very hard and fissable. It is used in various cabinet-making and various other ornamental applications.〔〔Plants for a Future: (''Prunus grayana'' )〕
