''Prunus simonii'', called apricot plum and Simon plum, is a tree in the genus ''Prunus''. It was first described by Elie-Abel Carrière in 1872 and is native to Hebei province, China. The species is not known in a truly wild state.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Plants for a Future )〕 It has been important for breeding commercial plum cultivars from crosses with other species of the genus ''Prunus''. The species is named for Gabriel Eugène Simon (1829–1896), a French botanist and diplomat who sent pits to the Paris Museum in the early 1860s while he was representing the French government in China.〔Gledhill, D.

London: Sampson Low, vol. 2, pp. 827-833.〕〔Baltet, Charles (1895). ''L'horticulture dans les cinq parties du monde.'' Paris: Société nationale d'horticulture, p. 406.〕 Beginning about 1881, the species became commonly known in the United States; having been introduced there from France.〔 ==Description== ''Prunus simonii'' is a small deciduous tree growing to about in height.〔 The flowers produce almost no pollen; the fruit varies in quality, can be bitter or pleasant to eat, and is flat in shape.〔 Just like an apricot, the fruit flesh clings tightly to the pit. The taste is often bitter. Fruit production is not particularly bountiful. The fruit is dark red〔 or "brick red". The branches are slender and the leaves oblong. In appearance, the fruit is flatter than most plums, looking "tomato-like".〔 The fruit is particularly aromatic, much more so than ''Prunus salicina'', with a comparatively high level of hexyl acetate, which gives apples their aroma.
