Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Prunus pseudo-Cerasus, Lindl. (P. involucrata, Koehne), with which Prunus serrulata and other Japanese flowering cherries have been confused, is an entirely different species. It is not hardy in the northern states, and apparently is not in cult, in this country except perhaps under test in Calif, or elsewhwere. It belongs to another subsection of the genus, more nearly allied to P. canescens and P. lobulata, described under Nos. 65 and 66. It is grown in China and also in Japan for its edible red subglobose apiculate fr., which is about 1/2in. or less in diam. : small tree, to 25 ft., the shoots pale gray to purplish and sparsely pubescent when young: lvs. sparsely pubescent but glabrous above at maturity, ovate to broad-ovate, secondary veins few, acuminate, rounded at base, doubly serrate with broadly triangular teeth: calyx-tube or cúpula broadly obconic and pubescent: fls. white, 2-5 in a cluster, 1 in. across; style glabrous. Wilson states that "as a fruit tree it does not compare in value with the European varieties derived from P. Cerasus and P. Avium." CH
