Prunus takesimensis (Korean: 섬벚나무, lit.
'island cherry') is a species of cherry endemic to Ulleung Island, South Korea.
[2] Morphologically it most closely resembles Prunus sargentii but its chloroplast genome is most similar to Prunus serrulata var.

Prunus takesimensis individuals make up about 5% of the famous cherries of Washington, DC.
