Prunus fremontii is also known as the desert apricot. It is a species of cherry native to arid regions of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. Other synonyms for Prunus fremontii include Fremont's bush cherry, sand cherry, canyon cherry, and wild apricot. This drought-tolerant tree grows up to 30 feet tall and produces small, yellow apricots that are tart and flavorful.
