Prunus japonica, also known as Japanese bush cherry, is a shrub species in the Prunus genus that is popularly grown for its ornamental value. It is native to Central China and the Korean peninsula and can reach a height and width of 1.5 meters. The plant produces hermaphroditic flowers that bloom in May and its fruit has a sweet flavor, making it suitable for use in pies. It can be grown from seed or propagated through cutting or layering. Prunus japonica thrives in well-drained and moist soil with little to no shade and is commonly found in woodlands or sunny areas. The plant has other uses, such as providing green dyes from its leaves and fruit. There are several varieties of Prunus japonica, including P. japonica eujaponica, P. japonica gracillima, P. kerii, and P. japonica nakaii, which produces larger plums.
