Prunus incisa, the Fuji cherry,[3] is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, which gets its scientific name from the deep incisions on the leaves.

It is an endemic species in Japan and grows wild in Kantō, Chūbu and Kinki regions.

[4] A dainty slow-growing, early white-flowering cherry tree, this century-old cultigen from Hondo, Japan is highly regarded as an ornamental but the wood has no industrial value.

[5] It is in the ornamental section Pseudocerasus of the cherry subgenus Cerasus of the genus Prunus.

In a large pot it will produce a dome of twiggy growth, and has the added bonus of brilliant autumn colour.
