Prunus

2 cultivars

Prunus is a diverse and highly valued genus of trees and shrubs that includes familiar stone fruits such as peaches, cherries, plums, nectarines, apricots, and almonds, as well as many ornamental flowering trees. These plants are beloved for their spectacular spring blossoms, which commonly appear in shades of white to pink, and their attractive branching structure. In agricultural and orchard settings, specialized Prunus cultivars are grown specifically as rootstocks. These vigorous, hardy foundational plants are carefully selected to provide disease resistance, specific growth habits, or climate adaptability to the fruiting scions grafted onto them. Whether grown for their own delicious harvests, breathtaking seasonal floral displays, or as the essential grafting foundation for an orchard, Prunus species are indispensable to edible landscapes and home gardens.
