Prunus davidiana, Franch. (Persica Davidiana, Carr. Prunus Persica var. Davidiana, Maxim.). Fig. 3228. Slender willow-like tree: lvs. narrower and smaller than those of the peach, tapering from near the base into very long acuminate points, very sharp-serrate, light green, willow-like: fls. appearing very early, 1 in. or more across, blush or light pink, solitary, the sepals glabrous: fr. nearly globular, the suture prominent, about 1 in. diam., pubescent, grayish or yellowish; stone small and nearly spherical, ruminated, free from the whitish dry flesh. China. R.H. 1872, p. 75. G.F. 10:503. Gt. 44:1412. G.C. III. 11:529. Var. Alba, Bean (var. albiflora, Schneid. Persica Davidiana var. alba, Carr.). Fls. white. Gn. 50. p. 165. G. 28:5. Somewhat grown as an ornamental subject. Hardy in the North, but the fl.-buds are usually killed. It blooms very early, much in advance of peaches. It is said to be used in China as stock for many stone-fruits, and tests (particularly as a peach stock) are now under way in this country.
