Flowers are similar in morphology to peach, plum, and cherry. The fruit is a drupe similar to a small peach, 1.5–2.5 cm (0.6–1.0 in) diameter (larger in some modern cultivars), from yellow to orange, often tinged red on the side most exposed to the sun.

Apricot trees grow best in areas that don’t get a spring frost since they flower early in the spring and an early frost destroys their flowers.

Dried apricots are a type of traditional dried fruit.

Short-lived small deciduous tree, 15 to 25ft tall and almost as wide; smooth, reddish-brown bark; coarsely serrated leaves, 3.6in long, with pubescent undersides.

Fast-growing Taiwan cherry will usually bloom in its third year from seed. This is an outstanding flowering tree for the Japanese style garden or simply as a specimen or accent anywhere early spring color is desired. Unfortunately, Taiwan cherry seldom lives more than 10-15 years.

Light: Does best in full sun, but will tolerate considerable shade.

Moisture: Regular garden watering.

Taiwan cherry tolerates heat better than other flowering cherries.

Propagation: Seeds, tip cuttings in spring and early summer.

Wild types are large shrubs or small trees reaching 6-15 meters tall, with deciduous leaves 4 to 6 centimeters long.

Prunus cerasifera is a popular ornamental tree for garden and landscaping use, grown for its very early flowering. Numerous cultivars have been developed, many of them selected for purple foliage. They can have white or pink flowers.

Fruit are flavorful and tart, used in preserves, pies and desserts.

Medium tree. Leaves narrowly ovate, sharply toothed. Flower bright pink in clusters. Ovoid 1/2" fruit, bright red and shiny, with single stone. Often grown along roadsides for its beautiful flowers. It is in flower in April. The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by insects.

Although no specific mention has been seen for this species, it belongs to a genus where most, if not all members of the genus produce hydrogen cyanide, a poison that gives almonds their characteristic flavour. This toxin is found mainly in the leaves and seed and is readily detected by its bitter taste. It is usually present in too small a quantity to do any harm but any very bitter seed or fruit should not be eaten. In small quantities, hydrogen cyanide has been shown to stimulate respiration and improve digestion, it is also claimed to be of benefit in the treatment of cancer. In excess, however, it can cause respiratory failure and even death. Originally introduced as a garden ornamental for its attractive blossom but now an aggressive invader in many parts of southern Africa.

Small to medium sized tree with a spreading, open canopy, usually 10-15 feet in commercial orchards. Leaves are linear or slightly ovate, about 3-4 times longer than wide, with acute tips and finely serrate margins. Leaves are 3-5 inches in length, slightly smaller and less folded along the midrib than those of its close relative the peach.

Almonds produce best on deep, loamy, well-drained soils, but will tolerate poor soils, and even drought during the latter portion of fruit development better than most tree crops. In intensive orchards, soils are managed similar to other stone fruits, but less-intensive plantings of the Mediterranean area occur on calcareous, rocky, and droughty soils. Like all Prunus species, almonds are intolerant of wet, poorly drained soil.

Almonds are the most widely-used nut for confectionery items like candy bars, cakes, toppings, etc. Much of the crop is roasted and flavored or salted and sold in cans; broken and small kernels go to confectionery.

Prunus glandulosa is commonly used as an ornamental tree and for cut flowers.

It has white or pink flowers - single or double varies with cultivar.

Prunus glandulosa can be shaped to create an interesting landscape feature and is ideal for container gardening.

Prunus ilicifolia is an evergreen shrub to tree, producing edible cherries, with shiny and spiny toothed leaves similar in appearance to those of holly. The flowers are small, white, produced on racemes in the spring.

The cherries are edible but are mostly skin and seed. Prunus ilicifolia is great for a bird garden.

Prunus laurocerasus is a widely cultivated ornamental plant, used for planting in gardens and parks in temperate regions worldwide.

The seed of the fruit may cause severe discomfort to humans if ingested.

Decorative, small shade or specimen tree, getting up to 25 feet high. Produces fruits guaranteed to bring birds into your garden. Profuse clusters of tiny white flowers with yellow centers. A delicately agreeable fragrance floats over the surrounding area. Leaves when crushed have fruity smell. Birds enjoy the fruits, but taste of the fruit is not very appealing. West Indian Cherry is a component of hardwood hammocks throughout the Caribbean, with limited distribution in the pinelands of South Florida.
