Prunus yunnanensis, the Yunnan cherry, is a small, often many-stemmed flowering tree from southwest China, grown mainly as an ornamental street tree. It is best known for its early white spring flowers, which open with or just before the leaves.
Prunus yunnanensis, the Yunnan cherry (Chinese: 云南樱桃) is a species of Prunus native to Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan and adjacent provinces of southeast China, preferring to grow at 1900–2600 m. The white flowers open at the same time as the leaves bud out, or very slightly before. It flowers from March to May, and fruits two months after.
It is planted as an ornamental street tree in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan.
