Prunus fremontii is a North American species of plants in the rose family, known by the common name desert apricot.

It also occurs in northern Baja California Sur.

[5][6][7] Prunus fremontii is a deciduous shrub or small tree reaching up to 5 metres (16 feet) in height.

The flowers are white or pink, blooming about the same time as the leaves unfurl in the spring.

[8] The fruits are an important food for Native American groups, such as the Cahuilla.
