Scientific Names

Read about Prunus utahensis in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Prunus utahensis, Dieck. Utah Hybrid Cherry. Apparently a hybrid of P. angustifolia var. Watsonii and P. Besseyi. A small tree-like bush: lvs. lance- elliptic to oblong-oval, short-pointed or nearly blunt, finely serrate, slightly conduplicate, glossy above and much reticulated beneath: fr. cherry-like, somewhat larger than that of P. Besseyi (about 5/8 or 3/4in. diam.), of deep mahogany-color, with a thin plum-like bloom, a thin flesh and a relatively large cherry-like stone.— Appears to have been raised about 50-60 years ago from seed of P. Besseyi (P. Watsonii grew near) by J. E. Johnson, in Nebr. Mr. Johnson subsequently moved to Utah, whence the fr. was distributed. It has little value as a fr.-plant, but it is an attractive ornamental subject, both in fl. and fr. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
