Prunus tatsienensis is a small shrub or low tree (2 to 5 m) native to mountain slopes in central and southwest China, and it is a putative species that may be the same as Prunus polytricha. It is grown mainly as an ornamental or for interest rather than as a common garden plant, so care is best matched to other cold-hardy cherries.
Prunus tatsienensis (Chinese: 康定樱桃) is a putative species of cherry native to Henan, Hubei, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces of China, typically found at 900–2600 m above sea level. It is a shrub or low tree 2–5 m tall. It differs from Prunus polytricha in that it has disciform apical glands in the margins of its bracts. This trait is not found in the original description and is not found in the type specimen, suggesting that it is conspecific with Prunus polytricha and with Prunus clarofolia, which also lacks sufficiently differing characters.
