Prunus salicina
''Prunus salicina'' (syn. ''Prunus triflora'' or ''Prunus thibetica''), commonly called the Chinese plum (中国李) or Japanese plum, is a small deciduous tree native to China. It is now also grown in fruit orchards in Korea, Japan, the United States, and Australia.
''Prunus salicina'' should not be confused with the ''Prunus mume'', a related species of plum also grown in China, Japan, and Korea. Another tree, the Korean cherry - (''Prunus japonica''), is also a separate species despite having a Latin name similar to ''Prunus salicinas common name. Plant breeder Luther Burbank devoted a lot of work to hybridizing this species with the Japanese plum (''Prunus salicina'') and developed a number of cultivars from the hybrid.
==Description==
''Prunus salicina'' grows up to tall, and has reddish-brown shoots. The leaves are 6-12 cm long and 2.5-5 cm broad, with a serrated margin. The flowers are produced in early spring, 2 cm diameter with five white petals.
The fruit is a drupe 4-7 cm in diameter with yellow-pink flesh; it can be harvested in the summer. When fully ripe it can be eaten raw.
