Prunus is a group of plants like trees and bushes. They give us yummy fruits like plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, and almonds. You can find 430 different kinds of Prunus plants all over the world, from North America to Asia and Africa.
People grow Prunus plants a lot because they’re tasty to eat and look pretty in gardens. The fruits they make, called stone fruits, have a hard seed inside. We enjoy them fresh or use them to make jams and pies.
Prunus plants also have beautiful flowers. Cherry blossoms tell us spring is here, and peach and almond trees give us shade and nice views in the summer.
It’s important to take care of Prunus plants so they stay around for a long time. By protecting them, we can keep enjoying their delicious fruits and lovely flowers for years to come.
